The inertia switch for your vehicle should be located on the drivers side inner fender, inside the trunk area. There should be an access panel that will be labeled. Just an FYI, most Ford vehicles will have an inertia switch that is located in this spot, the right inner fender in the trunk, or possibly on the passenger footwell up front. If you need some help in locating the switch, or diagnosing/repairing a problem, contact a certified mechanic, like the mobile mechanics available at YourMechanic.com.
