Default Transfer case binding?

Ok, so I just replaced the transfer case switch today to see if i could get my part time light to work on the dash. Well the light works now, but the lever is really hard to move now and if I put it in drive it feels like the driveline is binding up. If I put it in reverse it does the same thing. I'm not sure if it matters or not but the transfer case is dropped an inch. Before I put the switch in it worked fine. And ideas on why its doing this?
