Fuel reset buttons

The inertia fuel button?
The one that shuts off when you hit something.
Are they all in the same place on ALL F-series trucks?

Check behind the passenger side kick panel.

I used to drive a 94 F150 parts truck, the parts manager told me the inertia switch was in there, in the off chance I ever got into an accident while on the job.

For the trucks that have the fuse panel behind the kick panel the reset button is out of view around the forward side of the fuse box. When you feel back there the reset feels like a vertically mounted AA battery. The top has a rubber covered button set in the top end. Press downward to reset the switch. Timing of this post is strange as I had to reset one just about 1 pm yesterday. The truck had been hit just on the side at the point where the switch is. I was picking it up for repair and the only reason it had been towed to another tow yard was because it would not run. There was a $335 tow and storage bill that the insurance company has to pay because the owner did not know how to reset the switch. It took me less than a minute to get it running.
