Here’s my inertia switch story.
When I was restoring my 91 GT I had the interior out. I was test driving it down the road, and the road near my house was pretty bumpy and had some dips and undulations. As I was coming back, the car shut off.
I had no idea what happened, but fortunately my Dad was riding with me and he immediately went to the trunk. We had detached the inertia switch and had it just hanging by the wires. As we were driving, it swung back into the sheet metal hard enough to trip it and shut off fuel to the engine.
