Inertia Switch
In the event of a collision, the electrical contacts in the inertia switch open and the fuel pump automatically shuts off. The fuel pump will shut off even
if the engine does not stop running. The engine, however, will stop a few seconds after the fuel pump stops. It is not possible to restart the engine until
the inertia switch is manually reset. The inertia switch is located on the LH side of the vehicle behind the trim panel which is behind the rearmost seat
on Escort/Lynx, Exp. On Tempo/Topaz, the inertia switch is located on the LH side of the luggage compartment. Access is gained through a hole in
the trim panel.
