1985 Mercury Marquis FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF SWITCH LOCATION


Hello, I have a 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis, I do not have the owners manual for this car any longer and it says to refer to it for the location and reset operation. My car runs and drives A-1, I just happen to be driving on fumes one day, and ran out of gas, I let it sit over night and came back in the morning with gas, put 2 gallons in, jumped in and it wouldnt start, i tried primimg it, the car started everytime i poured a lil gas in the carb body, but cut off as soon as that lil bit ran out, its like its not getting any fuel from the tank. I need help asap. Thanks.

I belive the inertia reset switch is located on the right rear of the trunk.

Thanks that did the job, and it was located on the hinge of the truck lid on the drivers side, I held the button down while my girl started the car and it fired right up! Thanks so much!!!
