If it operates as the stock switch, just push it forward in its bracket and then floor the gas pedal and the switch holder will ratchet to the proper position. You should be able to hear the clicks as it moves back the required amount.

Default Defective switch?

Maybe I have a defective switch, It acts like it was already set at midpoint. Bag was stapled shut. Just moves to 2nd half of travel, I need it to activate before mid point. I might try to post pictures.

You need to pinch the slider and pull it out as far as you can to reset the switch.
It will adjust itself at next WOT.

Hope this helps some.

Default Thanks Kenth

I knew there had to be a simple thing to release the slider. And I knew someone on here would know. Thanks again
