Where is inertia switch ford ranger

Oliver "Oliviah" C. January 12, You can find the inertia switch, which is also known as the fuel pressure inertia switch FPIS , on Your Ford Ranger's passenger foot area, under the dash, near the front edge of the carpet.

When You pull back the carpet, You should immediately see the switch, which is a small, grey, box shaped plastic part, held in place with a small hexBolt on opposing corners and a white switch on top. If You're not getting fuel, try hitting that reset switch on top; it'll work, unless the FPIS is completely shot. Upon further torubleshooting, I discovered that the inertia switch had tripped but I can not get it to reset.

Could the switch be bad or does it require electrical pwr to reset it? It should go down when pushed, if it doesnt reset try unpluging it and resetting it. Will it reset when unplugged and pushed down? I removed the inertia switch and ohmed it out. The switch is closed so I assumed that it was good. I checked out the fuel pump relay by putting pwr to it and it opened and closed just fine. I then took the advice of another on the forum and checked at the fuel rail for fuel.

I pressed the little test port on the fuel rail and some fuel came out. My question is how much fuel is suppose to come out when I press the little test port on the fuel rail? Thats a very bad test to see if its getting enough fuel, there is no way to tell how much fuel is coming out of there.

You will need to do a pressure test with a fuel pressure test gauge. Engine Mechanical problem Ford Ranger 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive there is a fuel shut off switch on pass floor board it has a button on top of switch its up and I cant get gas to flow can I by pass switch? Because I can not find switch at car parts store I dont want 2 spend a lot on truck until I get it running and check it out then I would buy switch from dealer so so expensive!

Can I just bypass to hear it run? Well you can just cross the connector with a piece of wire, but try pressing the button down, that is the normal position. If the button is up, that kills the pump.

I am having problems with a new fuel pump not priming. I have located a problem with EEC relay and am replacing it but, I also want to check the inertia switch. I cannot locate it.
