You have to pinch both sides together enough so it clears the housing to enable the reset.

In some cases with the pedal at rest, the switch post is in the middle of the travel slot, and will not be at the end of the slot.

In these cases, I suspect it would be important to not make the switch post travel into the operating range too much during install, or it may impact the operation/ final setting.

The switch has 2 contacts, so it will close the contact prior to WOT. Otherwise a simple on/off contact switch would be all that's needed.

I'm guessing that range is somewhere between the 1/2-3/4 range of throttle.

I’m sorry the brown switch from Amazon does not have the indicated plastic tab on the side and does not function that way. Pinching does not work.

What does the slider looks like when you pull it to the end position? (both sides).

Smooth. But like I said it will not pull all the way to the end on one side. It goes from center to full forward (toward seats) It will not slide past center away from the seats (toward the firewall).

You will have to squeeze/pinch the slider as shown on my pic to pull the slider to the end, away from the seat.
The hooks on the slider inside the switch is what prevents the slider to be pulled "away from the seat" to the end of the slot.

I wish i could do this for you!!!!
