FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

This device stops the electric fuel pump from sending fuel to the engine
when your vehicle has had a substantial jolt.

After an accident, if the engine cranks but does not start, this switch
may have been activated.

This switch is located in the front
passenger’s footwell, behind a
flip-up cover, by the kick panel
access cover.

To reset the switch:

1. Turn the ignition OFF.

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.

3. If no leaks are apparent, reset

the switch by pushing in on the
reset button.

4. Turn the ignition ON.

5. Wait a few seconds and return

the key to OFF.

6. Make another check for leaks.

FUSES AND RELAYS

Fuses

If electrical components in the
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.

Note:

Always replace a fuse with one that has the specified amperage

rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage rating can cause severe wire
damage and could start a fire.
