The swich is on the center consul, it all has to be removed to get to it.

There have been two threads in the last couple of months on this. If you do a search you will find it.

I understand that there is no adjustment on this switch, if it was me I would stick or add something to the cantact arm, so that contact is made. off the top of my head I think it is the righthand switch when veiwed from drivers seat.
