No it will not.

Sounds like you have your wires crossed and are turning the power off.

The tab will snap off by grabbing it with needle node pliers. the tab is for a common feed to both the 3way and single pole switches.

You should have three screws. The two screws the same color are for the switch legs going out. The odd colored screw should be for power in.

Not sure which switch you are installing http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-switches.html Gene If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7

Use the identified screw (different color then the other two) and any one of the other two. I do not know what switch you have but I assume the two identecial screws are on the same side. Put the one with the wire down, then hopefully when the switch if moved up it will turn or, if backwards just rotate the switch.
