Ben,

Here is a picture of the one on my car:

That is the switch under the pedal in my car. If that is the switch you've purchased, I'm sure it's in the same location.

The top of it is a large button that is pressed when you push the gas pedal to the floor. It should make a click noise if you hold it in your hand and push on the top of it.
