The fuel pump in the 2011 Ford F-150 is designed to automatically stop in the event of a crash for safety. To turn it back on, look under the driver's dashboard for a red arrow pointing to the switch. If there is no manual switch, the pump is controlled by a module located near the spare tire. This function is crucial as it stops the fuel flow to prevent fires during a significant impact. Similar to airbags, not all accidents will trigger this feature, as it relies on an "inertia switch" that is programmed to deactivate the pump when sensors detect a sudden or forceful stop.
The 2011 Ford F150 fuel shut off switch can be found on the passenger-side foot well, towards the right of the transmission hump, on the toe-board.
