Resetting the Fuel Pump on a Ford Transit
To reset the fuel pump on a Ford Transit, you can follow these steps:
1. Locate the Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch: The inertia fuel shut-off switch is part of the standard safety features on the Ford Transit. It is typically located in the front passenger footwell near the kick panel. If it has been activated and needs to be reset, you can find the switch in this area..
2. Reset the Fuel Pump Shut-Off Switch: Once you have located the shut-off switch, you can reset it by opening the access panel and pushing in on the reset button. After doing this, turn the ignition to the on position, pause for a few seconds, and then return the ignition to the off position. Make sure to check for any leaks in the fuel system before attempting to restart the vehicle. If no leaks are apparent, you can proceed to restart your vehicle..
It’s important to note that not every impact will cause the fuel pump shut-off, but in the event of a moderate to severe crash, the fuel pump shut-off stops the flow of fuel to the engine. If your vehicle shuts off after a crash, you may need to follow the above steps to reset the fuel pump shut-off switch.
I hope this helps you reset the fuel pump on your Ford Transit! If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask.
