Thread: Inertia switch on 96 Discovery

Mine does it too if I hit a bump even moderately hard (especially with the front right wheel for some reason...). No fuel shutoff though, everything keeps going just with the hazard lights on. Ignition off and on (once) fixes it but that means pulling over which is sometimes embarrasing if your in the middle of a convoy...

Seems to me, that if things were bad enough this would cut the fuel off, bring on the hazards, & I read somewhere, brings on the interior lights, (not 100% sure about that one)

As the fuel pump is not stopping, it would appear the problem lies elsewhere.

One thing I have noticed is the Flasher cam for the hazards and the turn indicators flasher are the same unit.
