* Inertia Switch: This is the closest thing to a dedicated "safety switch." It's designed to cut power to the fuel pump in the event of a collision. Its location varies slightly depending on the trim level and body style (coupe or convertible), but it's typically found under the dash, on the driver's side, near the left knee area or underneath the vehicle, near the fuel tank. You might need a flashlight and possibly some maneuvering to locate it. It's usually a small, red, button-like device.
* Fuel Pump Relay: This relay receives signals from the PCM and controls the power to the fuel pump. It's located in the power distribution center (PDC), usually found under the hood, in the engine compartment.
* PCM (Powertrain Control Module): The PCM monitors various sensors and inputs before allowing the fuel pump to activate. It's not a switch you can directly access or manipulate.
Therefore, there isn't a single "fuel pump safety switch" to check. If you suspect a problem with fuel pump operation, you need to systematically check these components. A diagnostic scan tool would be very helpful in pinpointing the issue, as a fault code might indicate the problem area. Attempting to bypass any of these safety mechanisms is strongly discouraged due to the potential for fire hazards.
