In a 2017 Jeep Renegade, the fuel cut-off system is linked to the airbag system. When the vehicle senses a situation where the airbags might deploy, it automatically shuts off the fuel to prevent a potential fire risk. To reset the system, ensure your turn signals are in the center position. Turn on the ignition, activate the right turn signal, then the left turn signal, followed by the right turn signal, left turn signal, and finally turn them off. Next, turn off the ignition completely and confirm that the emergency flashers are also off. This procedure will reset the fuel system, allowing the pump to operate again.

To reset the fuel cut off in your 2017 Jeep Renegade, you need to find the inertial trigger or airbag control module in your vehicle. Consult your owner's manual for the specific location, but if you can't find it there, check inside the center console, under the front seats, behind the glove compartment, or behind the driver's or passenger-side kick panels. Locate the button on the inertial switch, which is responsible for resetting the fuel pump and may have a different color than the case. Open the inertia switch cover by releasing the plastic clips or removing the screws that secure it in place. Inside the switch, you will find one of three things: a button, a circuit breaker-type switch, or a fuse. Press the button or switch it back to its original position to complete the reset.
