You are right I got the pictures mixed up a bit. Here they are hopefully
showing the whole picture.

I can't tell if the bridge is removed or not. I don't know which side the
bridge was on and what it looked before it was removed... Can you tell from
the pics?

Thanks,

MC

I think you need to take some better pictures of the sides of the old
switches. I can't be sure from your pictures or descriptions what you've
got. It appears that you have two, single pole combination switches. It
also
appears that one switch is upside down so the common terminal of the left
switch is on the left and the common of the right switch is on the right,
but its hard to tell. Forgetting any ground terminals, the switches old
and
new should have four terminals each. Two with a bridge between them and
two
without. If either of the old switches have the bridge removed, you need
to
do the same with the corresponding new switch

First, I am not too familiar with electrical wiring, and normally I will
get
an electrician to do a job, but this one is simply swapping an old
switch
to
a new one, so I figured I can just match up the old and new switches and
do
it myself.

What I have is a double gang box that has four switches, two on each
side.
I turned off the main power and removed the cover plate, pulled out the
switches and it looked like this:

Note the top right switch is broken, this is why I am replacing this.

The left switch has a black wire connected to the top left. As seen in
the
link below:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-...6/DSC00014.JPG

This black wire actually connects to the top right side of the right
switches, as seen below:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-...6/DSC00013.JPG

A black wire connects to the left bottom of the right switch, and a red
wire
to the left top of the right switch, as depicted below:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-...6/DSC00012.JPG

To the right side of the right switches, the top is connected to the
black
wire that came from the left switches, and there is a white wire that
connected to the bottom right. This white wire is all frayed and
loosened
up.

None of the switches are grounded. I saw three green wires tucked
inside
the box, screwed into a single nut. Not sure if they should have been
connected to the grounding screw or not.

Now the problem. The Leviton Two Switches I got (I have a pair of them)
do
not look exactly like what I had so I can't just match them up.

The left side of my Leviton Switch look like this:

The right side like this:

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2005-...6/DSC00016.JPG

Can someone tell me how I should be wiring them from the pictures? The
Leviton switches has 4 screws, and they are labeled according to the
instruction sheet A1 (top left), B1 (bottom left), Common Line 1 (top
right), Common Line 2 (bottom right). And do I need to break off the
fin
located between the black screws?

Thanks in advance,

MC
