Where is the fuel safety shut off switch on a 1997 Chrysler Cirrus lx?

There isn't a readily accessible, manually operated fuel shutoff switch on a 1997 Chrysler Cirrus LX (or most modern cars for that matter). Fuel systems are designed to shut off automatically in the event of a crash, typically through the inertia switch. This switch is usually located under the dash or in the engine compartment, but its primary function is automatic, not manual operation.

If you need to cut off the fuel supply for some reason (e.g., a major fire), you would need to disconnect the fuel pump's electrical connection or possibly the fuel pump relay. However, this is extremely dangerous and should only be done by someone experienced with automotive electrical systems, and ONLY in the event of immediate, serious danger. Improperly disconnecting these can lead to injury and further complications.
