What do you do after the fuel cutoff switch has been reset and the car still will not crank up?

Start checking the engine. You need 4 things for an engine to run. 1) good fuel at the right time 2) strong spark at the right time 3) compression and 4) unobstructed air flow into the engine intake. You are missing one of those basic things. Start eliminating possibilities, starting with whatever is the easiest for you to do, and you will find what you are missing. Another issue may be that the timing belt has broken. I just had the same thing happen to my Ford Escort----today! Or it could be that your timing belt is broken but to check it you'll have to remove the timing belt cover, lift the right part of the engine by using a floor jack under the oil container and also remove a belt tensioner that's on the way of the timing belt cover. For more info see the how to remove the timing belt post from a 96 Ford escort, there isn't much difference. Try unhooking the battery for 12 hours or more. i had the same problem and that did it for me and the car started up. If you know what your looking for check the relay switch for the fuel pump or try listening for the fuel pump kicking in when you first turn the key in the ignition if you cant hear anything, use a phase tester and prob the wires for the fuel pump to check wether power is getting to the fuel pump(cover up with tape after) if powers getting to it then you need a new fuel pump, if not then you need to trace back till you find the problem.

Fuel pump reset switch 2003 ford focus?

How do you reset the automatic fuel pump cutoff switch on a 1985 F-350 4x4?
You should be able to reset it by pushing down on the tab on the switch. I am of course assuming that you are referring to the inertia switch. At the same time you push down on the switch take note of how hard it is to do it. It should feel quite firm if the switch is still good but if there is almost no effort at all the switch is likely shot. This applies to all Ford inertia switches of all years.
I have a 2000 ford focus I ran out of gas and now want crank I tried the gas cut off switch but it still want crank?
One reason a 2000 Ford focus won't crank after you ran out of gas is because you need press the reset button for the pump. The button is located in the trunk.

What else could be wrong with my 1993 ford escort if I have already hit the fuel cutoff switch and it still won't send fuel through?
Do you mean that you pushed the reset button on the top of the switch ? (If you hit the switch it will trip) It could be the fuse for the fuel pump relay , the fuel pump relay , a wiring connection , the fuel pump itself , empty fuel tank etc.

Your 92 Lumina will not fire it was in a minor accident and has not fired since you have replaced the crank sensor and it still will not fire what could it be?
Not sure if the '92 Lumina has an inertia switch or not. The inertia switch (also called fuel shut-off switch) will trip in an accident and shut off the electrical power to the fuel pump. You might want to check your owner's manual to see if there is one and where it is located. Also to learn how to reset it.
Will the truck still run on a Ford F-150 if the fuel switch is not reset?
No , if the fuel pump inertia switch ( shut off switch ) is not reset when the button has popped up on the top of the switch then no electric power is flowing to the electric fuel pump ( assuming your Ford F-150 is new enough to have fuel injection instead of a carburetor )
