Answer: You said every wire in the correct side. Are you referring to color arrangement. If your talking about color arrangement with the slots on the outlet,and you say they are correct,then some where in the electrical circuit or in the electrical panel something got crossed. Call an electrician to find where it crossed

Answer: ok first what are they reversed on and how do you know they are reversed, did you use a a tester or did you see a wire that appears to be on the wrong side . We really need to know these questions and maybe a couple of more before giving an answer
