The 2012 Ford Fusion has an inertia or fuel cutoff switch located behind the vehicle's glove compartment. To access the lever, you will need to open the glove box, clear its contents, and push the sides inward while lowering the glove box. The purpose of the inertia switch is to turn off the fuel pump in the event of a crash to prevent potential explosions or fires. Signs of a malfunctioning switch include the engine unexpectedly failing or stalling, the key intermittently not working to start the car, and other drivability issues. While the inertia switch is designed to last the car's lifetime, occasional malfunctions can occur.
