An adjustable pedal assembly includes a screw (62) for moving a pedal (16) along a rod (22) between a plurality of adjusted positions. A conduit (53) rotatably supports a core element (55) that is rotated by an electrical motor (52). A pair of female (56) and male (57) connectors attach the conduit (53) in an operative position on a gearbox (20) with the core element (55) connected to a worm (58) engaging a worm gear (60) to rotate the screw (62). Any such adjustable pedal assembly may be characterized by a pair of electrical contacts (70) and (72) supported by the respective connectors (56) and (57) for electrical contact to transmit electrical current through the electrical leads (74) and (76) when the connectors (56) and (57) are connected together but for discontinuing electrical conductivity when the connectors (56) and (57) are separated. The drive motor (52) is operative only when the connectors (56) and (57) snugly interconnected.
