I got a mk3.5 and had an accident in the car last night and crashed it into the kerb sideways now the car will not start juswt wondering where the fuel cut off switch is and how do you deactivate it?

[Ollie]

Behind the passenger side kick pannel (to the left of the foot well). There should be an openeable cover there and a red button inside.

[HaggisTurbo]

you just push it then?

[Ollie]

Yeah, apparently so.

[Stoned]

Do all Fiesta's have one or only MK3.5's cos I have looked behind that panel before and there is nothing there but wires

[JohnnyT2]

What is that little compartment supposed to hold? It's too big to be just for the fuel cut off switch.

[MikeyXR2i]

Right, open the plastic door, put your finger through the hole in the plastic, and there should be a red POP up switch, press it back down. (Inertia Switch) what the compartments for i don't know, but i keep wheel lock nut in there, and other little handy things.

Not the red button

i was told the conpartment is for something that diesel fiesta's have, but not sure what!

[ArronXR2i]

Mine is a white switch, because i had to call the AA out twice for that little fooker


Apparently they get worn with age and going over harsh bumps can make them pop out

Are you taking the piss?

Thats what it says in the Haynes manual, it also says there's only one button in there anyway, and it pops out when the fuel cut off is activated.

[MikeyXR2i]

yeah don't worry ollie, some are white and some are red, mines red, there is only one button behind their.
