No , the inertia switch ( fuel shut off switch ) is a safety device that " breaks "

the electrical circuit to the electric fuel pump . That way no power is going to

the electric fuel pump until the inertia switch is manually reset by pushing the

button down that has popped up on the top of the switch ( the switch is

supposed to " trip " if the vehicle receives a substantial jolt like being in a

collision or maybe hitting a really bad pothole )

Is the fuel pump switch and reset button the same?

Yes this is a safety feature found on some cars that is an inertia switch. Power is cut to the fuel pump whenever the car is in an accident. You push the switch to reset it and restore power to the pump. There is also a fuel pump relay, that is sometimes called a switch, although it is not actually a switch. This relay closes and turns the fuel pump on when the ignition is turned on. It will stop the pump if the engine is not started.
