Check the fuel pump fuse in the fuse block of the engine bay.
a switch that is trigered to light up the light when the brake pad is pushed in
is the cutoff switch a normally open or normally closed switch ? If it a normally closed switch as it should be then the switch will need to activate with the ignition in order to supply fuel. There could be a problem with the fuel cutoff relay or a fuse. Also if you are using a non factory key then this might also happen.
when i spin the motor the fuel cut out light comes on. The injectors are getting fuel but the car want hit a lick
behind the light switch under the dash
Go to the parts desk of your local ford dealership and ask for a printout of the brake light switch.
The switch may not be functional, or may not be rest correctly. If the vehicle was in an accident, the fuel pump or wires might have been damaged. this could cause the switch to retrip.AnswerI'm sure it is, as when i put it to wrong position the light is on all the time, if i put it into right position the light is on only when I'm starting, and the engine is cranking. Any idea what else might be causing this?
Hello, Jamison here, Ford has A cut-out switch, Most of the time its in the trunk on the passenger side (NOT REALLY EASY TO FIND) But easy to reset, Look in your owners manual, Or call A ford dealer.............Jamison.
While the probable answer is that the fuel cutout has been trigggered by some external shock, Another case where the light comes on is when the ignition switch has shorted. Open in the switch may not cause the same light. Shorted switch can cause the starter to become engaged anytime the gear selector (auto) is in park or nutral.Other shorts in the ignition switch can dump direct to ground without energizing the starter. A battery draw test would show voltage draw in this case but isolating voltage draw on modern cars is very hard with aftermarket or factory valet and alarms engaged. I don't know, but I had that once and had to find the button to reset it so I could start my car again. The button is in the trunk, on top on the right wheel well. Push it and your good to go...Maybe. Can the ignition switch still be bad even if it doesnt engage the started anytime, but its starting and the Fuel Cutout is lighted only when starting?
Check the: Bulbs Fuse Stop light switch
Most brake light switches are mounted to the brake pedal up towards the dash board
The overdrive light will be off when the overdrive switch is pushed in. If the light flashes then that's a trouble shooting code.
check the wires at brake light switch on brake pedal they are bad about breaking brake light switch
