Where is the inertia switch located on a 1999 Dodge Durango

I don't believe it has one. I've heard some pretty reliable sources say this safety switch is a Ford-only product. First check the fuel pump fuse. It's fuse #1 in the Power Distribution Center, a 20 amp fuse.

If the fuel pump in the tank is not turning on to put gas up to the engine, you have a problem in the pump circuit or a bad pump.
There's an easy way to determine which it is. You will need a voltmeter or at least a test light.
Find the gas tank electrical connector. It will be near the tank. A wire loom of about 4 wires will likely come from the top of the tank and run down to an electrical connector, probably close to the side frame rails. Pull the connector apart, and on the harness side (or chassis side, not the tank side of connector) identify the dark green with black stripe wire in the connector. This is the power wire to the fuel pump. You need to check if it has voltage on it when the pump is supposed to be running and pumping.
You will need a helper to turn the key to start and crank the engine over while you check for power with the voltmeter or test light. If the voltmeter says battery voltage-right around 12 volts, 11.8 volts or more- or if the test light comes on brightly, then you know the pump has failed (90% certainty) and you need to replace it.
If there is no voltage on the dark green/ black stripe wire with the engine cranking, it is not a pump problem. You will need to consult a wiring diagram to diagnose the fuel pump circuit. I just looked and there is no inertia switch.
Good luck.

I have a new pump and there was no power going into it. so i ccut the wires and want to run it to another power source. can i run it to the fuse box and it work the same? also since its fuel injected i...

did you check the fuse for the fuel pump you don`t say.there is also a fuel pump relay in the system.if you bypass the system then the ecm won`t have control for the pump,which controls the 2 second prime at the beginning when key turned on and it won`t shut off the pump in case of an accident when the engine stops.you can bypass it but its not recommended because this.if you do bypass make sure you have a 25amp fuse wired into the power wire and a on/off switch that you must remember to turn on and off every time you drive the car.

Its not getting fuel to the motor. i was drivin down the freeway and it sputtered like it was ou of gas when i know it wasnt

Hello

Power for the fuel pump is supplied by fuse #16 in the Power Distribution Center (PDC), goes through the Fuel Pump Relay and then to the Fuel Pump and the ground completes the circuit. Power for the Fuel Pump Relay coil is supplied by fuse #18 in the PDC and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies ground. It is a fairly simple circuit to check.
The first thing to do is check all the fuses, especially #16 and #18. If you have they are good then you will need to pull the fuel pump relay and check for power, with the key ON at the dark green/black wire and orange wire. The DG/BK wire is the power for the fuel pump and the OR wire is the power for the relay coil. If you have power there connect a jumper between the DG/BK wire and the dark green/white wire. You should hear the fuel pump running. If not there is a problem in the DG/WT wire from the relay to the pump.
Okay, lets assume that checks out fine, the next thing to do is replace the fuel pump relay and ground the dark blue wire. You should hear the fuel pump running. Okay? Good, now go to the PCM located on the firewall in the engine room. It has three large connectors, black, white and grey. There is a DB wire in cavity 19of the grey connector. Ground this wire and you should hear the fuel pump running. If it does then the wiring for the fuel pump circuit is all good and the PCM will need to be replaced. If it doesn't run, then you have a problem in the DB wire between the relay and the PCM.

1990 fleetwood starting prob.turn key nothing i can hear fuel pump the relays click i can jump starter. but nothing changed starter it was on its way out checked all fuses cheked all fuse links cheked key...

I would check the ignition switch. With a test light, check the small wire going to the solenoid for power when someone turns the key to the starting position. If you aren't getting power to that terminal on the starter, the ignition switch is not sending power to the solenoid.

2008 KAWASAKI 600ZZR FUEL PUMP NOT RUNNING.

I doubt that jump starting your machine would have cooked your fuel pump.Does the machine still turn over if not you may have cooked the E.M.U if so the easiest way to check the fuel pump is to unplug it from the loom useing two suitable lengths of wire conect the pump directly to the battery if the the pump emits hum it is working & you will need to check your wireing for possible burns you say the fuses all checked ok I can only assume that you only cheked the fuses by eye in which case it is not allways easy to tell a fuse is blown by visual inspection the only proof positive way is with a multimeter. Another simple test is to bridge the fuse holder first remove the fuse then useing a short piece of wire (no more than fifteen amp you dont want cook the system if there is a fault elsewhere) bare the wire at each end & place it in where the fuse normaly resides turn on the Ignition if the pump comences to function discard offending fuse insert a new one & of you go. hope you are in the wind again soon

1997 Ford F150 Electric Fuel Pump will npt pump

Did you check the fuel inertia switch in the passenger side kick panel ?

The fuel pump is powered :
the fuse to the fuel pump relay.
The fuel pump relay to the fuel inertia switch
The fuel inertia switch to the fuel pump itself.

At the fuel inertia switch in the kick panel, power from the relay is the Dark Green w/ Yellow stripe wire and the pink w/ black stripe wire is the power. from the fuel inertia switch to the fuel pump.

If you jumper the fuel pump relay, you should hear it run. If not pull the fuel pump relay, and check the pins in the relay socket, pin 30 should be the power from the fuse.

50b0c31.jpg

If you have power at pin #30, jumper the relay socket as shown with the red line above, and check the dark green w/ yellow stripe wire at the fuel inertia switch for power.
Press the button on the top of the fuel inertia switch, and check for power leaving the fuel inertia switch on the pink w/ black stripe wire.

This is tests good, check for power at the fuel pump, same pink w/ black stripe wire.
Fuel inertia switch info is in the owners manual, If you did not get an owners manual with your truck ( purchased used ), you can download one from Ford :

2001 chevy silverado 2500 hd, 6.0, replaced fuel pump and it will not start. Put a light tester to the wire harness and it is not getting power. cheked the relay and it works. is there anything else that...

If you are sure the fuel pump relay is working, check continuity from the pump to the relay socket. These wires love to corrode. When you turn your ignition on, the fuel pump will only run for a couple seconds before it shuts off via the automatic shutdown relay. Make sure you are checking power within this window. The PCM (powertrain control module) is what completes the ground in order for the relay to send power to the pump. If the PCM does not recieve a signal from several sensors (mainly the Crank Sensor) it will not turn on the pump. You may want to check these sensors, is the check engine light on? You can scan it to see if any sensors have thrown a code. Be sure all applicable fuses are ok, the PCM may have its own fuse, check that even if the fuel pump fuse is ok. Your Truck may also have an inertia switch for the fuel pump which shuts it off during an accident. Check that as well.

drivers kick panel shows a convertible top fuse , #4 15amp fuse .now i see something in the schematics called TOP STACK , googled it and it refers to a convertible top , wierd , but anyway , it shows a top stack switch , a top stack main relay and a top stack fuse and a top stack relay . if you have the same manual , work with me , does your motor that powers the top have a blue/red and a blue/yellow wires to it , and the switch does it have a blue/red , a blue and a black wire ? do you see in your manual a top stack fuse r/b #3 ?
