Maybe so but from what I understand there is only one way to adjust it. I have repeated that adjustment several times with no change. I did buy a replacement from Amazon and will swap it out when it arrives.

It has to be in the initial position, then just somewhat slowly press pedal to floor and let up slowly.

But it certainly has to be in the proper position before you start, with the tab bent for initial position/adjustment.

You can't just push it to the floor by hand over and over expecting it to change. Or even with you're foot, you pretty much get one shot at it. If you question the adjustment, you have to reset the switch before you try again.

Not sure that was clearly stated before.

Yes, of course, that’s the way it’s done. In fact it’s so simple that it would be hard to do it wrong in my opinion. My replacement switch is actually due to arrive today. I’ll be able to compare the new one to what’s in the car soon. I’ll post a pic of what I get from Amazon.

Ok so this is what I got. Purchased from the link I posted. Looks like junk to me. I feel no ratcheting or hear any clicking in the movement. There is no tab to push so that it will set to the initial position. It won’t even travel the full length of the slot. Won’t even click into place when it hits the end of the travel. It just springs back and forth with a slight metal rubbing sound.

That looks like it should.
Install the switch and then push pedal to floor.
Done.

There is no 'ratcheting'. The switch comes in the 'unadjusted' position.
If you try to ratchet it or see how far it will move you will defeat the adjustment mechanism.

Really it only travels from the halfway position shown in the one photo to the point where I have pushed it in the one with my hand and then snaps back to center. No other action at all. It appears it would just be an on/off switch. There is no initial setting.

The one in the car now will travel the full length of the slot.

The new one on the right will not travel to the position of the older one on the left.

In fact I can also see now what is wrong with the old one. The small plastic tab on the white slider won’t keep the switch from going all the way forward anymore. It is constantly slipping back into the initial setting mode.
