"tinermans clip"

The cable just slips off the black pin as I have circled in red. I put it back on mine about every six months. Takes less than 5 min.

There's a wire cable next to the steering column that falls off the switch. Just climb under there and put it back on. No tools needed.

It was adjusted very loose, pedal getting too low, loose. I was going to let the auto adjusters pull it tighter and get the pedal up a bit.

And actually, it would work the other way around. Too...
