In a 2011 Ford F-150, you can locate the inertia switch on the passenger side kick panel. This safety feature is designed to turn off the fuel pump if there's a collision to prevent a fire risk from damaged fuel lines. In the event of a crash, the switch is activated by inertia. One of the initial signs of a potential problem with this switch is the engine suddenly stalling while driving. If the switch malfunctions while the engine is running, it could cut off the fuel pump and lead to the engine stalling. To re-engage the fuel pump, you can reset it by pressing the switch's reset button.

The Ford F-150's inertia switch is located on the passenger side kick panel, and you will need to remove the cover to access it.

The switch is not located on the passenger side kick panel and must be reset by turning the truck on without starting it, then off for 2 seconds, back to on, then off before starting the truck. The truck suddenly shut off for no apparent reason while I was driving smoothly on the highway with cruise control on. It was a dangerous situation, as I had to deal with the issue in heavy traffic during rush hour, resulting in a costly tow and 10 days of inconvenience. This unexpected failure, without any warning or explanation, is frustrating and disappointing. Despite my overall preference for Ford trucks, this incident has made me question the reliability of this model, especially considering the potential dangers it poses.
