Contenu
If your Ford ever fails to start or stalls on you suddenly, the first thing to check is the inertia fuel shut-off switch. The switch is designed to trip and cut power to the fuel pump in the event of a collision, but you can also trigger it by hitting a large bump or pothole as well. To reset your Fords inertia switch, press down on the reset button.
Common Locations
Although the location of the shut-off switch varies by year and model, Ford has stuck with a few common spots over the years. If you own one of Fords pickup, SUV or van models, you can find the shut-off switch under the dashboard on the passenger or driver side, depending on what year it was built. If you own one of Fords car models, you may find it located in the trunk compartment. Refer to your vehicles owners manual for the exact location.
