i have a 2005 f150. i hit a speed bump, and engine completely shut down, did some research found out about 90% people said it was probably do to this auto shut off switch. i check the manuel, know i am searching in right spot but still cant find it. can anyone help? i dont know what to look for.

 

According to my Haynes manual the inertia fuel shutoff switch is located behind the passenger side kick panel, ahead of the fuse and relay box.

Hope this helps. I will look for more info and post if I find anything.

Good luck and let us know if you get it straightened out.

 

The IFS appears to be just in front of the fuse box. The reset button is on the top.

 

Got it finally. i wasnt looking far enough in front of fuse box. its definitely there... big red button. thanks for the help.

 

Thats one hell of a speed bump to shut the fuel switch off. The last time I had witnessed a fuel switch shut off, was when I watched some idiot in a ranger bomb his truck through a series of whoops and ruts. The last rut was a big one, and he slammed the truck down hard. Thats when it shut off.

 

did it throw any codes?
