Take it apart and clean it. Make sure you get all the sand out... Then take a small piece of cardboard and put it under the little pop up nipple on the contol baord. You should be able to tell which one works for each function. Before you put the springs back in test it out.If still not working try and push the nipple by hand,if it works add more material to the nipple,if it doesn't work then get a new foot pedal.


Cleaning does work. Personally I've never needed to add a piece of cardboard...

Take it apart and clean it. I replaced pedals the first couple times but when one only lasts six months that isn't right. Open it up and clean all of the conacts. I rinsed the dirt off then wiped off anything that was left and finally spread a very thin layer of dielectric grease on the contacts. Put it back together and it's good as new. Especially if you're just going to throw it out I would try to clean it. Otherwise let me know, I'll take it.
