My tib probably wont start cause of the airbags being deployed, someone told me of like a switch to flip or something under the dash or in the back of the car any advice?

Looking through my shop manual, nowhere is it listed that the car will not start after deployment. You sure that is the reason the car will not start?

Does it crank?

Never heard of any car not starting because of airbags. As Mad said, does it crank?

I think there is fuel pump kill switch. It goes off after an accident and cuts power to the fuel pump to prevent a fire.

I'm not 100% sure. I can't find ANYTHING about this on webtech, but I remember reading about it SOMEWHERE.

I know it sounds stupid, but check the owners manual, I think it might have been in there.

Its gotta be somewhere between the fuel pump (center of back seat) and the ECU. So its either under the drivers seat, or under the dash. I know it's not under the back seat.

i read somewhere, that fuse is in the passenger side, there is a fuse box there, but IĀ“ve never see it. lol

After Ford's little fun adventure with the pinto, they started putting fuel cut out switches on all their cars. I think a lot of other's followed suit.

i found a small box under the center console but no switches on it it says airbags on it though any suggestions

I dont think there is a switch, well not from factory.

maybe you have to look for a fuse box in the passenger side, and maybe you will find a bad fuse.
