Well, here's my application for the Rubber Hammer Award; it should make me
imminently qualified:
For some reason, stimulated by a discussion here a while ago, I ordered one
of the Standard Motor Products FV7 fuel pump inertial switches (
bit.ly/2CnRzvr). I don't really know why, when the GMC's already protected
with a low oil pressure switch and the EFI time-out function. But, I did.
Finally, today I considered installing it, so I examined it for the first
time. I found that the included wire was connected for Normally Open (NO)
operation (after pressing the rubber-covered reset switch) and became
Normally Closed (NC) when rapped on a hard surface. I wanted just the
opposite operation, so I disassembled the switch. That's easy to do: the
rubber cover peels right off and goes on easily, and the white plastic
switch housing has two easily-defeated attachment lugs.
When I got the white plastic cover off, I saw two little metal devices
connected together with a tiny spring. I SHOULD have taken a photo right
then -- but didn't. Now, I've got those 3 little pieces out and can't
figure out how to re-install them. HELP!!! Has anyone else been
brave/dumb enough to do the same, but smart enough to take the photo?
Without that, I seem to have added another expensive piece of useless junk
to my very large collection.

real easy on the middle series of Rangers, on the passenger side firewall inside the cab behind a flimsy metal guard. And if you look before you grab, you can see the correct orientation. And if you just got the truck and you toss your cased shiotgun on the passenger side and hit it, it will activate. Ask me how I know this.
