How do you reset a fuel shut off switch on 2000 mustang?

A 2000 Mustang doesn't have a readily accessible fuel shut-off switch like some other vehicles. There's no single switch you can flip to reset. If your Mustang isn't starting, the problem is likely elsewhere.

Here's what you should consider if your 2000 Mustang won't start:

* Check the obvious: Make sure the battery is charged, the connections are clean and tight, and that you're in the correct gear (Park or Neutral).

* Fuel pump: The fuel pump could be malfunctioning. You might hear a whirring sound when you turn the ignition on; if not, that's a potential problem. A mechanic can test the fuel pump.

* Ignition system: Problems with the ignition switch, ignition coil, or other ignition components can prevent the engine from starting.

* Starter motor: A failing starter motor won't crank the engine.

* Fuel delivery: There could be a blockage in the fuel line or a problem with the fuel injectors.

* Security system: If your Mustang has an aftermarket alarm or immobilizer, it could be preventing the engine from starting.

* Sensors: Various sensors (crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, etc.) can prevent the engine from starting if they're faulty.

Instead of looking for a fuel shut-off switch (which doesn't exist in this way on your car), you need to diagnose the *reason* your car isn't starting. It's strongly recommended to take your 2000 Mustang to a mechanic for proper diagnosis and repair. Attempting to fix fuel delivery issues without experience can be dangerous due to potential fire hazards.
