#1 of 5 Car won't move by babythreej Jan 29, 2008 (2:28 pm)
I have a 2003 X-type that I got in my of this year with about 40,000 miles on it.   I hit a large pothole. The tire got a bubble in and then.... the car just stopped!   It will not turn over and you can not even put the car in neutral!   Any ideas? It's at the shop now, but they are at still at a lost.

Replying to: abushjag (Feb 25, 2008 6:52 am) Fuel Cut-Off Switch In the event of an accident, an inertia switch will trip, isolating ignition controlled circuits, including fuel pump operation. Simultaneously, the doors will automatically unlock. Once the switch has tripped it must be reset before attempting to restart the engine. Note: The doors will not unlock if the inertia switch is tripped when the ignition switch is in position ‘0’. The inertia switch is located in the left-hand fascia fusebox, behind a pull-out panel. To remove the panel, first open the left-hand door. A button on the top of the switch, under a flexible cover, is raised when the switch has been tripped. Resetting the switch ! WARNING: To avoid the possibility of fire or personal injury, do not reset the inertia switch if you see or smell fuel. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the inertia switch as follows: 1. Turn the ignition switch to position ‘0’. 2. Press down the flexible cover on the top of the inertia switch. 3. Turn the ignition switch to position ‘II’, pause for a few seconds, then return the key to position ‘0’. 4. Make a further check for fuel leaks.

Once the switch has tripped it must be reset before attempting to restart the engine. The inertia switch is located behind the trim on the right-hand side of the vehicle, forward of the front door post, below the fascia. Pull open the small panel in the trim to reset the switch.

Replying to: babythreej (Jan 29, 2008 2:28 pm) In the owners manual it mentions a fuel shut off located next the the front passengers seat on the trim. There is a reset button that you can turn the fuel back on after an accident. You have to turn the key to acc for it to work, but in the event of impact it triggers the shut off so that no fuel spills. The impact of you hitting the pot hole may have been enough for that switch to trigger, in which case the car would not start. Check that first, and i hope it helps you.
