I installed a new single pole switch with pilot. Now he pilot of the new installed switch is on all the time. Did I do something wrong?

Can you post a picture of the wiring? Give us a link in the comments, and one of us will wire it into the post for you until you get the reputation to do it yourself. And Welcome! – Chris Cudmore Aug 29 '18 at 16:18

Most likely, you have the hots reversed. In the example clip below, the wires on the Common and A1 terminals reversed.

Of course, that's the drawing of what he *has*, not what he *wants*. – Harper - Reinstate Monica Aug 29 '18 at 16:29

I'm more confused now, is the diagram the right way or should I reverse the two wires? – Bumpa Aug 30 '18 at 17:34

@Bumpa - if your switch is like the one in the picture, you have two hots and a neutral on the switch, and I think you have the one that belongs on the common on the A1, and the one that belongs on the A1 on the common. – batsplatsterson Aug 30 '18 at 21:47
