That makes it a NO switch. so If I unhook the wires at the trans
there is NO chance of a faulty kickdown signal (even if I took out
the switch, there may be scuffed or disintegrated insulation or some
other cause to short the wires together.)
Pressed down is ON, connects the circuit, zero resistance
Up is OFF, infinite resistance
You can reach down there and grab it and pull up the inner part,
which looks to be pressed into the housing with some tabs. You
might able to just take it apart and clean it.
To get it out, fold down the carpet around it, it has some
press-ears that hold it in the hole, just take a flat screwdriver
and pry up on it until it comes out. There is not much room on top,
but the hole is big enough you can pry it out just on the bottom and
left side. The connector is just pressed on and pulls off easily.
New one just pushes in the hole, make sure the connector is at 10
oclock or connect it then push it in. Takes less than 5 min to
change it, including going to find a screwdriver.
