Hi, I've experienced a similar problem when the switches on the EF7 wear out. They are "momentary" switches (and merely plastic at that). Every once in a while the spring (or whatever mechanism in them that fails) gives in and the switch gets stuck in continuous "on" position. When one of the switches is stuck like this it does just what you describe. Odd and unexpected commands are sent from the footpedal to the EDP. I just got done replacing all of the switches at once on my EF7 because it was doing this very thing -- for the second time in the 6 or so years that I've owned it. It happens. The good news is that the exact same switch is available from various electronics suppliers. I got mine from the Mouser Electronics catalog, page 553, item #10PA005 for only $.92 each. The last time one of these failed (a couple of years ago) I bought a whole bag of them. Now I figure I have a lifetime supply. :-) If, after checking it out, you suspect that this is the problem their toll-free phone number is 1-800-346-6873 and their website is at: http://www.mouser.com/ You really only have to replace the faulty switch when this happens (if you can figure out which one it is). But I figured I'd replace all of them this time . . . just in case. You know how it is. Replace only one burnt-out headlamp on your car and you may find the other burning out the very next week. Why make two trips to the parts place? Anywho, because of how the connections are soldered together it's almost as easy to replace all of them at once as to replace only one. Good luck!
