There's no adj to the nth degree just want the pedal to compress it to a certain extent so that the pedal has to move down "just a bit" to let it come out & make continuity. Snug the screw fairly tight live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Snug the screw fairly tight I'm not sure what you mean when you refer to compression. Can this be explained more clearly?

W the knob all the way out you have continuity (light on) & you need to have the pedal pushing the knob in further (compressed/no continuity) so that it takes a hair more (than what you have now) pedal travel away (downward) b 4 the knob reaches the end of it's travel & the br lite comes on. EDIT borrow a VOM & w the ohmmeter function you'll b able to get it right as you'll b able to tell exactly when it makes/breaks contact (disconnect both female connectors b 4 using the ohmeter function on the male switch terminals not the white/pink female ones) Last edited by RapidRobert; 07/05/11 10:50 PM. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Where is the adjusting screw located?
