If so that is for the anti-theft system. Try arming the vehicle and pop the hood before you get out(not fully though). when you shut all the doors and then pop the hood (all the way up) does the alarm go off? if so i think that is what the switch is for.   Joe B (Denverrover) Member Username: Denverrover Post Number: 207 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 02:00 pm:    Inertia cut off switch. If your truck won't start push it. jb   Steve Rupp (Steve_rupp) Member Username: Steve_rupp Post Number: 150 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 24, 2004 - 02:04 pm:    Ryan is correct.

I mean, is it really detecting pressure changes? The hose on my D1 was so loose it couldn't hold anything substantial. Then again, the engine is blown lol!
