Best Answer

The fuel pump shut off ( inertia ) switch is a safety device that " breaks " the circuit

to the electric fuel pump so that no power flows to the electric fuel pump if your

vehicle has received a substantial jolt from being in a collision or perhaps hitting a

really bad pothole . When the switch is tripped the fuel reset light is supposed to

come on in your gauge cluster , indicating that the switch needs to be manually reset

- If the fuel reset light comes on , check for any gas leaks or the smell of gas

- if none , push the reset button on the switch and then turn the ignition key to the RUN position for a few seconds , and then turn the ignition key to the OFF position

- check for any gas leaks or the smell of gas again

- if none , go ahead and start the engine
