Best Answer

On a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer :

That means that the fuel pump shut off switch ( inertia switch ) has been

" tripped "

It is a safety device that does not allow power to the electric fuel pump if

the vehicle has been in a collision ( or maybe hitting a bad pothole )

The switch is located in the front passenger footwell , by ( or behind ) the

kick panel

If you don't smell gas or see any gas leaking , push the reset button down that has popped up on the top of the switch

Turn your ignition key to the RUN position for a few seconds and then turn your ignition key to the OFF position

Make another check for the smell of gas or any gas leaking , if none , go ahead and start the engine
