Where is the inertial switch on 1997 ford F-150?

The 1997 Ford F-150's inertia switch isn't in a standardized, easily accessible location like some other vehicles. It's often hidden behind the dashboard's lower panels on the driver's side.

You'll likely need to remove some trim panels to find it. It's usually a small, red, square or rectangular box. Your best bet is to consult your owner's manual or a repair manual specific to your 1997 F-150. Those manuals will have diagrams showing the location.

Without the manual, a visual search behind the lower dash panels on the driver's side is your next best approach. Be careful when removing panels to avoid damaging any wiring or clips.
