One of the connections is wrong. You may have the hot wire or the load wire on one of the traveler screws. Identify the hot wire and the load wire and make sure that they are on the screw terminals that are black.

This page has 2 simple diagrams. One without a 4-way switch and one with a 4-way switch: http://www.mrelectrician.tv/question...owire3way.html

It is an unfortunate name, chosen because the switch has 4 terminals.
You insert that in a set of 3 way switch travelers to allow control
from an additional location. There is no limit to the number of 4 ways
in a 3 way switch loop.
