What happens when you have a bad Fuel Pump Inertia Switch?

When a fuel pump inertia switch is bad, it can cause the fuel pump to stop working, which will prevent the engine from getting fuel and running. This can happen if the switch is damaged or if it is tripped. If the switch is tripped, it can be reset by pressing the reset button on the switch. If the switch is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

Here are some symptoms of a bad fuel pump inertia switch:

* The engine cranks but does not start.

* The engine stalls while driving.

* The fuel gauge reads empty even though there is fuel in the tank.

* The fuel pump does not make any noise when the key is turned to the "ON" position.

If you experience any of these symptoms, it is possible that your fuel pump inertia switch is bad. You should have the switch checked by a qualified mechanic.
