2015 ford edge fuel reset is located where

From your owners manual, the shutoff is not a manual button:
Roadside Emergencies
FUEL SHUTOFF
WARNING: If your vehicle has been involved in a crash, have the fuel system checked. Failure to follow this instruction could result in fire, personal injury or *****.
In the event of a moderate to severe collision, this vehicle includes a fuel pump shutoff feature that stops the flow of fuel to the engine. Not every impact will cause a shutoff.
Should your vehicle shut off after a collision, you may restart your vehicle. For vehicles equipped with a key system:
  1. Switch off the ignition.
  2. Switch to start position.
  3. Switch off the ignition.
  4. Switch on the ignition to re-enable the fuel pump.
For vehicles equipped with a push button start system:
  1. Press the START/STOP button to switch off the ignition.
  2. Press the brake pedal and press the START/STOP button to switch on the ignition.
  3. Remove your foot from the brake pedal and press the START/STOP button to switch off the ignition.
  4. You can either attempt to start the engine by pressing the brake pedal and the START/STOP button, or switch on the ignition only by pressing the START/STOP button without pressing the brake pedal. Both ways re-enable the fuel system.
Note: When you try to restart your vehicle after a fuel shutoff, the vehicle makes sure that various systems are safe to restart.Once your vehicle determines that the systems are safe, then the vehicle will allow you to restart.
Note: In the event that your vehicle does not restart after your third attempt, contact an authorized dealer. 2015 Edge Owner's Manual

What does the fuel reset indicator stands for? Ford explorer 98

Hey Carlos , does your vehicle run ?
Fuel Reset
The FUEL RESET indicator is grounded through the inertia switch whenever the vehicle is subjected to a high force situation. The inertia fuel shutoff switch (IFS switch) (9341) cuts off the fuel pump motor. The FUEL RESET indicator illuminates when the IFS switch has been tripped.

I was driving my car about 50-55mph. All of a sudden my car shuts off and sputers like its out of gas. I knew it wasnt I had just left the gas station. So My car wouldn't get restarted it kept acting...

I think before I started guessing, I'd go to one of the bigger parts stores where they will scan for fault codes free of charge, and see if any come up. I'm guessing no check engine lights are coming on, seeing how you didn't mention it, but may be a chance scanner will find something. The other thing I would do if no codes are coming up, is to have fuel pressure tested, which should only take a few minutes, just to confirm that your fuel pump is holding proper pressure when vehicle is warmed up. Not uncommon for them to work good when first started and they are cool, but start to act up and lose pressure when they get heated up from running for a while.

Fuel Pump Circuit Operation When the ignition is switched to the ON position, it turns the EEC Power Relay on. The EEC Power Relay provides power to the EEC-IV processor and the control side of the fuel pump relay. Power for the fuel pump is supplied through a fuse link or high current fuse attached to the starter solenoid (battery side). From the fuse link or high current fuse, current flow is through the fuel pump relay and Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch to the fuel pump. The IFS switch is a safety device used to shut off the fuel pump in the event of a collision. If the IFS switch is "tripped," it must be reset by depressing the white or red button on the top of the switch. The fuel pump relay is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the fuel pump will operate. If the ignition switch is not turned to the START position, the PCM will shut the fuel pump off after approximately one second. The PCM will operate the fuel pump when the ignition is in the START position to provide fuel while cranking.
After the engine starts, the PCM will continue to operate the fuel pump unless the engine stops, engine speed drops below 120 rpm, or the IFS switch is "tripped."

System Diagnosis Note: Grounding the FP lead at the DLC will allow the pump to run continuously with the ignition switch on.
