Here's how it works:
* Location: The fuel cut-off switch is typically located near the fuel tank, often under the vehicle, and is connected to the fuel line.
* Function: When the switch is in the "on" position, it allows fuel to flow from the tank to the engine. When it is in the "off" position, it blocks the fuel line, preventing fuel from reaching the engine.
* Purpose: The fuel cut-off switch is a safety feature designed to stop the flow of fuel in case of an accident or other emergency. It is often used in conjunction with other safety devices, such as the inertia switch.
Important Note:
While the fuel cut-off switch is a valuable safety feature, it is not a substitute for proper maintenance and care of your vehicle. Always consult your owner's manual or a qualified mechanic for specific information about your 2003 Ford Explorer.
