    theres also the chance the pads were the wrong ones you got, or the pads go switched in the box.

    i try to bring a old pad with me so i can match it up before i leave the store.

    I had a starter solenoid boxed wrong about 10 years ago. Before I caught on, the store had multiple ones boxed wrong. I think I took 2 back saying they were defective.

    I suggest being your old pad in and see if you can't find the right one... It doesn't surprise me if they're boxed wrong. Or go somewhere else and get your pads.
