The tether is so small, it is hard to get in. Use your finger nail or a small screwdriver to make sure it is in all the way. I find if I don't do that, it doesn't go in all the way. If that doesn't work, you may need to change the tether. 3rd Rail / Electric RR has a $10 tether that is better, but a little bigger, so modifications would be needed.
I pressed it in as far as I could. I'll press it in a little more with a small screwdriver and see if that helps. How much bigger is the ERR tether?
Here is a picture of the ERR 10 pin tether.
