To be certain, you should:
* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource for the exact location in your specific truck.
* Look carefully under the dash: Feel along the sides and under the steering column. The switch may be mounted to the floor or the side of the dash.
* Search online for images: A quick image search for "1989 Ford F150 inertia switch location" may show pictures of its location in similar vehicles.
If you can't find it after searching these places, a local mechanic or a Ford parts specialist might be able to assist.
