fuel pump inertia switch?! need help!

[StefanQ]

So Its been about a month or so since I bought my 2007 ford ranger, 43,500k,service everything on time, still under warrenty I guess. Anyway just put gas in and I was waiting to turn left at a stop light, my friend in the passenger seat and suddenly the truck just dies. I dont think it was the battery because it turns over fine just about to start but doesnt. I got it towed to a ford dealership so it will be looked at on monday. My friend was telling me something about a fuel pump inertia switch in the passenger foot department. Could that be the problem? Does anyone know much about it/where the switch is located?
Any help would be much apreciated! I love the new ranger and dont see how it could die on me like this!

Maybe it is...pull back the carpet from the firewall, at least on a 1994. Maybe behind the side kick panel on newer models?

had mine go bad as well. pain in the arse to have someone kick it and shut the truck off goin down the highway.

I hope it is this and not something big! I'l let ford deal with it though!

I had one towed to a dealer that ended up being the inertia switch needed reset. lol. that was a $75 waste of cash that wont happen again.

oh talk about waste of money i had all kinds of crap replaced like the fuel pump and little sensors and switches before we found out it was that little booger.
