Exactly the same thing happened to me when I replaced the 3 lever switch. Turned out that the previous owner had screwed up the connections at the back and hadnt followed the proper wiring diagram and when I tried to re-connect - bang!
Only took a few minutes with a multimeter to find the fault and fix it properly.

Doubt if you have the same problem but I would check the switch carefully.

Hope this helps
