that is a side view, the one on the left would be the one nearest the firewall. You loosen the jamb nut then adjust the switch then tighten the jamb nut to keep it form moving.

Evil; It's actually NOT the switch but the ACTUATOR on the lever itself...the plastic actuator has broke off so no way to push the switch in...now what? Maybe a bolt and nut in the hole where the actuator was? Any way to bypass that switch? Any help appreciated...

Oh, well you can buy the stopper, I think they are under $10 form the dealer. or nut/bolt, or stuck a rubber adhesive bumper on it which is what I did, used what was handy.
