Ford and reverse not operable

Like everything else I've read everything works but forward in reverse but the floor switch pedal excuse me was what I figured was a culprit and I have a lightweight in size user during the day of the equipment and she did admit to me that she was stomping on the pedal to try to get it to operate and maybe something's wrong word but aggressively depressing the pedal most of us didn't have a problem cuz I think we could posture back into the rest and we could get the pedal to do correctly so it makes me think this mechanical if there's a switch underneath the pedal a dead man switch I think it's cold or something like that I don't know how to access the the floor though I'm having the darkest time trying to get underneath the brake pedal anything would help at this point I don't think it's pedometer I don't think that it's solenoids or anything like that it's been an issue with the pedal and it seems to be that's what it is now I don't hear clicking when I depress the pedal I can depress the pedal and then move forward and back roads with a joystick and I feel like I may hear a click then like it's just a full reverse solenoid or or relay thank you for any help I think a good start for me would be able to be able to get into the floor panel itself and I don't know why I can't get in there but maybe I'm just being a little wimpy about it
