Best Answer

The fuel pump shut off switch ( inertia switch ) opens the circuit to the

electric fuel pump so that no power is going to the fuel pump when the

vehicle has received a substantial jolt ( collision or maybe hitting a bad

pot hole )

It is a safety device that has to be manually reset if the switch " trips "
