Here are the pictures






Based on the pictures it looks like you have one of the newer kits. Most likely this is the grounding issue I was talking about.

The foot switch requires any part of its metal frame to be touching a ground point of the car (which is typically any metal part). Unfortunately the nut and bolt on the accelerator pedal can be covered in paint which can make it harder to get a good ground.

What I would like you to try is to undo the foot switch and hold it against one of the metal screws in the door frame of the car with the drivers side door open. And then with the car on just tap the switch to see what happens.
