ABSTRACT:
An electronic accelerator pedal assembly for vehicles including a base bracket adapted to be secured to the floor pan and having an upper housing fixedly supporting the associated electronic componentry indicating accelerator pedal position, including the output wiring free from the hostile environment zone beneath the accelerator pedal. The accelerator pedal is hingedly connected to the basic bracket member at a lower end and rotatably and slidably coupled to a spring biased follower member at its upper end by a jointly radiating coupling, and the follower member transmits pedal travel to the electronic componentry and includes a stop member for retaining the accelerator pedal in idle position.
