Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Installation Procedure
Important: The new PES switch comes with a position lock pin that is installed on top of the PES switch. This locks the timing gears in place. Do not remove this pin until after you have installed the PES switch and the actuator.
- Keeping the position lock pin in the new PES switch, position the PES switch over the drive cables and press down.
If the PES switch does not slide into position, the ridges on the drive cable housings will not go into the grooves on the back of the PES switch. Lift each cable into the PES switch, and press down on the PES switch assembly.
