If the terrova is electric steer it might be as simple as a contact that needs cleaning.

I second what Seabass said. Mine has a small piece of paper pushed in at the right spot to apply more pressure to make a good contact. Take it apart and you will see that's they are fairly easy to understand as long as the problem is not with the actual Printed circuit card.

After removing the pedal and looking closer at the unit. Im not sure why but for some reason the with all my weight on the toe. The pedal bottoms out. My understanding of how this control works. Is when one of the contacts moves away from the circit board. The unit responds.

I think if i remove a small amount of the plastic from the bottom of the pedal toe area. It should allow the rear contact to fully release from the circit?

With me luck :?

Before you'll do that why don't you check warranty status on your unit ?
Warranty should be 3 years.
