Noah Harbinger Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 My dad's ranger suddenly wouldn't start today. After looking it up, he tried the fuel shut-off switch, and bingo it started up. The manual says just that it might be activated after a "substantial jolt" -- how substantial of a jolt are we talking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the left turn lane his truck just quit and it was the fuel shut off switch. I don't remember if the dealer replaced something or not when he brought it in. I think the 'substantial jolt' may mean something like crashing through a brick wall. lol or an accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he found a post from some offroader who said he just bypassed the switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
