Car was broadsided on passenger's rear door, car will not start, was not hit anywhere else. Heard they had a van that had one of those buttons when it would get hit, thanking you in advance. I just don't know anything about cars being a woman and all.

The car is equipped with a fuel pump shutoff inertia switch. This is normally located in the trunk behind the left side trim panel on the Taurus models. There is a sticker and an access hole. You can stick your finger through the access hole and feel for the reset button. Push downwards on it, and you should hear and feel a slight click.
