This switch is located on the inside of the hood on the fire wall; just push it down. Anytime the vehicle is hit/over tilted/turnover, it kicks the Inertia switch off.

Location of the inertia switch

An inertia switch is a switch, firmly mounted upon a vehicle or other mobile device, that triggers in the event of shock or vibration. It is a part of electrical circuits that may either enable or disable some function.

My 2007 Tundras check engine light is burning. It shows a P2447 code which is a Secondary air injection pump fault. Will a Zurich ZR4 OBD2 Code Reader clear or reset this code?

Many vehicles available today come with fuel pump shut-off switches. These devices are essentially circuit breakers that sit inside you car's airbag control module's inertia switch, which is supposed to trigger when the vehicle comes to a sudden stop. This safety feature is intended to shut the fuel pump off in the event of an accident, but can sometimes be triggered by a pothole or even by sudden brake application. These switches are generally designed for a quick reset, but some models may require a more involved approach. Locate your car's inertial trigger or airbag control module. You owner's manual should give the exact location, but if it doesn't try looking inside the center console, under the front seats, behind the glove compartment or behind the driver or passenger-side kick panels. These are the trim pieces just ahead of your front doors where your foot typically brushes. Push the button on the inertial switch; it should be clearly marked as the fuel pump reset, and may be in a contrasting color to the case. You may need to turn the ignition key to the on or accessory position to energize the module and reset the switch. Proceed to the next step if your inertia switch doesn't use an external button. Remove the inertia switch cover by either prying the plastic clips loose or removing the screws that hold it in place. Inside the switch you'll see one of three things: a button, a circuit-breaker-type switch or a fuse. Push the button or flip the breaker switch back to its original position. If your inertia switch uses an internal fuse, pull the blown fuse out and replace it with another fuse of the same rating

1998 ford ranger 2.5L manual trans. 4x2... i have power to inertia switch but not to fuel pump. help please

Can you reset the internia switch? Use a proper jumper wire and bypass the inertia switch, engine cranking. If the pump runs, maybe the inertia switch is faulty? jump the dark green wire with yellow tracer to pink wire with black tracer to see if pump will run. Just my opinion.

My car has been hit in the back and my car turns over like its gonna start but stalls out. what should i do?

It should go without saying that it is IMPOSSIBLE to answer your question without first knowing the YEAR, MAKE, and MODEL of your vehicle.
That being said, I am 100% certain that your INERTIA SWITCH has triggered, and you merely need to push the reset button. (The inertia switch will trigger when there has been a collision, and disables your fuel pump to avoid a fuel leak that could start a fire.)

Van cranks over but will not start

Check your Inertia switch. It is located behind the passengers toeboard to the right of the transmission hump. It has a push button to reset.
The Inertia switch is for safety and disconnects the fuel pump power when bumped. Sometimes closing a door will falsely trigger the switch.
