How do you turn off an inertia switch?
On some vehicle models, this will be located in the luggage compartment. Look on a side panel for a small, round button which you can pry off with a small screwdriver. Through this access hole you will be able to see the reset button on top of the inertia switch.
How does Ford inertia switch work?
The switch activates when a tiny ball runs up a ramp, which is triggered during the sharp deceleration during an accident. The ball makes an electrical contact at the top of the ramp, and the electrical current to the fuel pump is discontinued. It is a safety item found on every modern fuel-injected vehicle.
Where is the fuel pump reset button?
The fuel pump shut-off switch is located behind an access panel on the right side of the luggage compartment. The fuel pump shut-off switch has a red reset button on top of it.
Is the inertia switch supposed to be up or down?
On the top of the inertia switch is a red button. With the inertia switch in the open position, the red button is raised up. ... When the reset button is pushed in (or down), then the inertia switch will let the voltage flow to the fuel pump.
Can you bypass fuel pump driver module?
It will work perfectly when completely bypassed because the PCM is no longer included in the fuel pump power supply circuit. You are literally 'hot wiring' power from the fuel pump fuse, through the fuel pump relay, right to the fuel pump in the tank.
How do I reset my Ford fuel 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 Ford's inertia switch, press down on the reset button.
How do I get my fuel pump to work?
Maintaining the Car Engine's Heat
So, one of the best tips to start a car with a bad fuel pump is to leave your car's engine cool. When your car cools off, it allows the fuel pump to reset without the need for pressure. Also, it would be best if you neither let your car engine get too cool or get very hot.
Is there a fuse for fuel pump?
Replacing Fuel Pump Fuse
Most fuel pumps will run a 15 (Blue) 20 (Yellow) or 25 (Clear) amp fuse. Using a fuse that's too small will cause the fuse to blow again. This is a normal condition as the fuse isn't rated for the higher amps of a fuel pump circuit.
Can Ford inertia switch go bad?
