Help! 1986 Ford e150 van inertia switch
We have a 1986 Ford E150 van - 302 engine. It quit running Friday and we have tried several things - replaced ignition module, solenoid, checked plugs and wires for loose connections. Fuel pump was kicking on and engine was cranking but not turning over. After replacing the solenoid, fuel pump will not work. Someone on another forum told us to check the fuel relay and inertia switch. We were told where to look for these but we can't locate them. Anything anyone could suggest to help solve or locate our problem would be GREATLY appreciated!

I don't have gas engines in my vans anymore, but I think the last one I had it was on the passenger side behind the front kick panel. Like where you would have your feet while sitting there. I think there was a little slot where you could just reach it. I hope that helps. Good luck with it. And welcome to FTE.

You need to find out what is wrong and not keep changing parts, as this will most of the time cause more problems.
Do you have spark?
The fuel pump relay should be right beside the EEC relay on the passenger fender.
Here is a diagram of a 87 but I think an 86 Van is the same.
