Thought i was the only one who thought about burning their ranger. My ranger and i have a love hate relationship i love it and it hates me. Replaced the fuel pump not even a week ago, leave work tonight and take a turn faster then normal to beat the red light well lost everything as soon as i turned. No matter what gear i put it in nothing i turned the truck off and now it wont start
On certain models equiped with the 2.3L this switch is a slightly different style and mounted behind a plastic panel to the right of the foot well, rather than on the firewall
I just discovered this by searching online from fuel issues with my 94 ranger. I been throwing $ and parts at it because I love our little truck. I bought the switch online and can't wait to put it in. If it solves my problem, I will be both relieved and upset. Upset cuz I wasted so much time on money when it could have been a little simple fix the whole time. Which happens when you overthink something.
Lmfao I got out of my truck and left it in neutral and it ran into the fence and i had no idea why it wouldn't start lol. Found the switch hanging and was like wtf is that and pressed it and started right up lol!!
Thanks for the video. 2004 Ford Ranger has the part redesigned and Ford suggests that the new part be installed under the fuse box cover near by. The location next to your feet seems to be an issue. People kick the thing or bang it with items on the passenger side floor area. It also seem suspicious that the part was not just moved, it was redesigned. Seems like a possible Secret Warranty issue, but I have not found anything on the Internet to prove this hypothesis. If anyone knows why the part was redesigned so long after the vehicle was manufactured, please share with the community. Thanks
Was riding down a dirt road on my 94 ranger 4.0 and hit some bumps and it just shut off and wouldn’t start. I let it sit a few minutes and it started and ran for about 30 seconds before dying again so I left the truck and come back about 2 hours later and it started right up and ran great all the way back home. So do you think it could’ve been something to do with this switch?
+QLF Productions Thanks for checking us out! There could be multiple reasons why you're having this particular problem. We suggest taking your vehicle to a nearby reputable shop to identify the cause.
I have a 99 ford ranger & it won't start I poured in gas, charged the battery & sprayed some starting fluid in the the intake won't turn over just cranks
thanks for checking us out. Yes, it would be possible to faile and not be tripped. If you suspect that your fuel pump shut off switch may be having an issue, have the vehicle inspected by a professional technician to determine if the switch should be replaced. +Lost Forevermore
Great video we just got done doing a compression test 94 ranger 3.0 Vulcan put all the wires back correctly the motor does not want to start I thought it possible was the inertia switch ,Now the switch is down But there's about a heavy 1/16" space at the bottom of the red switch its Not seated all the way down(1) IS that Normal (2) how do I test it ?
+Fixpros Tech Thanks for checking us out! On the 2008-2010 Ford F-350s this switch is located on the passenger’s side of the instrument panel. Open the front passenger door and remove the small access panel.
If its a 1998-2002 Lincoln Continental, it is located behind an access door to the left of the driver's seat on the b pillar. Slide the little door open and you can see the switch.
I just checked mine and the red button is down, I guess It does start up after it sits for a while. I don't know if it could be the fuel pump going bad or spark, any help would be appreciated thank you..
Can anyone possible Help me, My 2005 Ford Rangers Inertia Switch Connector, the gray housing that connects into the Inertia Switch, has melted, the Wires i were able to save, I Need to know which wire goes to which when I get my new connector in. Like there's a green wire and a reddish looking wire that were in the grey connector. I found which prongs are needed to be connected in the Inertia Switch, but i need to know which wire is supposed to go to which prong in the inertia switch. I learned the green wire goes to the fuel pump, and the red/pink comes from the fuel pump relay. but i need to know how to re wire it so i don't connect the wrong wire to the wrong prong
Hey guys! i have a passat tdi 98 im having trouble with my airbag light that showes everytime i start the engine. Can the problem be at cabels unders the passager seat? If you could send me some directions would be great!
HEY HEY 1A I KNOW MERCH IS A CONSIDERABLE ASPECT OF YT EFFORTS, HAVE YOU GUYS THOUGHT OF ADDING STICKERS,TSHIRTS SOMETHING,NOT TO TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE TO ORDERS?? JUST A THOUGHT....
I ran my ranger in about two foot of water and got stuck. It ran the whole time while in the water but stalled and won’t start after it was pulled out. Could the inertia switch still be a possible issue?
+David Huston This video is applicable to 01 Ford Ranger, but you should be able to use some steps from the video to help the repair on your 2005 model.
+David Emshwiller It may be, you may also want to check to see if there is a kink or bend in the fuel filler neck that may be causing the issue as well. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

I thought I has a switch problem but I'm actually not getting power to the pink wire that goes to the fuel pump. What should I do?

GOOD STUFF
I have a 99 ford ranger & it won't start
I poured in gas, charged the battery & sprayed some starting fluid in the the intake
won't turn over
just cranks
clutch switch
Jeremy Hill that’s what I have on my 2000 ranger now. Did the clutch switch help
How do you know if the switch is good or bad?
Does ford diesel engines have inertia switch too?
Can you hit enertia switch to change out fuel filter
What is the air tank for at the rear of my 2001 b4000
Need to get relocation kit-to move inside right side fuse area . Kit has instructions
Can the inertia switch cause the fuel pump fuse to blow when the a/c is turned on? I drive about 4 miles and the 15 amp fuse blows. Tks
Can these switches fail and not be tripped?

@@1AAuto thanks you guys are awesomness
Is that in about the same place on a 2010 f150
Great video we just got done doing a compression test 94 ranger 3.0 Vulcan put all the wires back correctly the motor does not want to start I thought it possible was the inertia switch ,Now the switch is down But there's about a heavy 1/16" space at the bottom of the red switch its Not seated all the way down(1) IS that Normal (2) how do I test it ?
When replacing the inertia switch should I replace the connector too?
Not unless it's visibly corroded or physically damaged. My 1999 looks fine despite 20 years of humid salty air (So-Fla...).
Nice video... Unfortunately, when I search your site for 2001 Ford Ranger Inertia Switch, it doesn't find anything... :-(
Friend, where is that switch located in a 1993 Ford Ranger pickup truck made in the United States of America with a 4.9-liter engine?
hi there I have a question hope you can help I have 2010 ford f350 is this truck have an inertia switch if so where is it thank you
+Fixpros Tech Thanks for checking us out! On the 2008-2010 Ford F-350s this switch is located on the passenger’s side of the instrument panel. Open the front passenger door and remove the small access panel.
Great video , what if I remove it once for all , it will cause any damage to the machine or something else?
do you know where the switch is on a lincoln continental?
In the trunk in all ford cars usually mounted on a rear strut tower.
If its a 1998-2002 Lincoln Continental, it is located behind an access door to the left of the driver's seat on the b pillar. Slide the little door open and you can see the switch.
I just checked mine and the red button is down, I guess It does start up after it sits for a while. I don't know if it could be the fuel pump going bad or spark, any help would be appreciated thank you..

+David Huston This video is applicable to 01 Ford Ranger, but you should be able to use some steps from the video to help the repair on your 2005 model.
When I fell my tank the gas pump stops quick is it a bad fuel valve?
+David Emshwiller It may be, you may also want to check to see if there is a kink or bend in the fuel filler neck that may be causing the issue as well. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com
