To shut off the fuel pump in an emergency:
* Locate the fuse box: This is typically under the hood, often near the battery. Consult your owner's manual for the precise location and a diagram showing the fuses.
* Identify the fuel pump relay or fuse: Your owner's manual will show you which one it is. It might be labeled "Fuel Pump," or something similar.
* Remove the fuel pump relay or pull the fuse: This will interrupt the power to the fuel pump.
WARNING: Working with automotive electrical systems can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable with this, you should call a qualified mechanic or roadside assistance. Disconnecting the wrong component could damage your vehicle's electrical system or even create a fire hazard.
Always refer to your owner's manual for the precise location and procedures for your specific 2000 Dodge Intrepid model.
