Time to dust this thread off!
I'm experiencing the same symptoms now, intermittently, with my 99 Tahoe which has 136,000 miles. Question for those who have replaced that switch, how do you physically get to it?!
I just tried to see where that switch is and what might be involved in getting to it. Looking at it from the accelerator pedal side, it seems inaccessible. Do you access it from the left or the right side beneath the dash and are you removing any other components to gain some room?
I'm a bigger guy and just trying to position myself under the dash is almost impossible. Wondering if I'm going to have to pay someone, someone much smaller, to do this..
