I popped into a scrappy today to see if I could find the safety cut-out switch on a Ford (the thing that cuts power to the fuel pump in a crash or roll-over). I found a few Mondeos, an Escort and an Orion, but couldn't find the switch anywhere. No injection Sierras though - I know where that one is!

So, can anyone give me precise directions for finding these mythical beasties in an average Ford?

cheers,
David

In Scorpios / granadas they are in the boot lower lip under a trim piece.

In fiestas they are in the drivers / passengers footwell - right next to the door opening.

Dont know about the others

Passenger left-hand kick panel on a mondeo, I found that out after a crash and a frantic phone call to my Googling brother while the car was sat broken at a busy junction

So how do I find this kick panel?

If I'm sitting in the passenger seat, whereabouts would it be? Is it easy to remove?

Or should I save time and petrol money and just get one off the bay of 'e'?

kick panels are footwell trims between floor and dash just in front of the doors

Ahh - I understand!

Would I be able to get the socket and some loom wire if I get the panel off?

In the mean time, does anyone recognise this switch off e-bay? Any idea what it comes off?

looks like a pug to me any 2 wire swith will do the job

I used one off a rover 400, it was located on the drivers side inner wing but apparently most are behind the centre console on rovers.
