A mechanic at the Ford dealer didn't know anything about the red stripe on the inertia switch but assured me "if you can't push the button, then it isn't tripped". The red might mean there still is danger of fuel pumping.
Yes, I'd like to test the connector for electricity, but where the connector is isn't obvious.
I did learn that the parts stores were quoting me on the wrong pump. I looked it up myself on
formatting link
. The 8thcharacter in the VIN (either V or U) is important to ID the pump. Itrefers to the ability of the vehicle to take alcohol-mix fuel.Apparently I need the Airtex E2258 pump, a V, mix-fuel-capable, type. I've been delayed on working on the truck. I needed to work, and had to waste this morning in court. I got a citation for 5 tires and a clothes dryer being in the back yard (visible only to the alley and one neighbor). I was already fined $140 for the same dryer being in the
*front* yard, and the inspector, Richard Felix of Kansas City, Kansas, told me I could move it to the back. Now he wrote me again for the same dryer plus the tires. There's no point in arguing these things in court. Unless you bribe someone, or you're connected, you can't win in municipal court.
It's no wonder most places around here are vacant. Between the government and the other criminals, it's impossible to live here.
I realize this is irrelevant to the thread, but you understand it's on my mind.
[And thank you for the concerned post. I needed it.]
