As stated a few times before, there are three "positions".
You can only turn it so far in either direction.
Hope the modified picture helps.....
When in the "locked" position, you should have the light on the dash light up, but you may have to drive it a few metres for it to come on.
Similarly, when in either of the "unlocked" positions, the light should go out on the dash. Again, you may have to drive a few metres for it to extinguish.
But I have no idea why there are two "unlocked" positions.
Anyone shed some light on this please...??

The "second" unlocked position (anticlockwise) from centre, is just the other side of the spring / ball detent on the CDL shaft, so its not "really" an Unlocked position
If you look at the pictures, and the install is correct, when you move the lever in the vehicle to the left to LOCK the CDL, the cable MUST extend, so in the correct fitted position it has to go clockwise.
IF you look at the amount of "throw" left on the cable, its not really possible to move to the other way, but offcourse the bracket shape makes it only possible to install it correctly.

Great post as had this same experience when fitting manual lever and finding the centre indent. The problem is I found you may not be able to rely on the light (once hooked up again) and I ended up jacking the wheels to prove the positions. I just need to adjust the switch depth a tad.
What happened to me was left in centre and after a few hours I found the light would engage, then panic stop following by confusion. So we are not alone with this and great to remember which way for that occasional use.
For some reason, I kept backing of the 4wd light as after a long trips the light kept engaging so just disconnected given only need a few times a year.
Cheers
