Disconnected fuel selector switch, any problems?
1988 F250 XLT Lariet, 460, EFI, 4x4, C6, reg cab, long bed
I'm embarrassed to ask this but oh well. If I remove the fuel selector switch, the one in the dash to the left of the steering column, will this cause a problem with fuel delivery to the engine? Does this somehow disable anything?

I don't want to remove the switch permanently. But I had temporarily removed the switch along with the rest of the trim around the instrument cluster. The truck was sitting like this with the dash apart for a while.
Then I took the truck for a test drive for something unrelated to the dash. Never gave any thought to the condition of the dash. The truck started and I got about 1/2 down the road where it sputtered and died. My wife helped me tow it home.
I was scratching my head over this, came to the conclusion that it might be that fuel selector switch. Installed the switch and was back in business.
I was asking the forum about this just out of paranoia, just to make sure it was just that simple, and that I wasn't over looking something else.
