The fuel pump shut-off switch is a device intended
to stop the electric fuel pump when your vehicle has
been involved in a substantial jolt.

start, the fuel pump shut-off switch may have been
activated.
The fuel pump shut-off
switch is located on the
left side of the trunk
between the left rear
tail light and the trunk
liner, and to the left of
the hole in the trunk
liner. If you are unable
to access the switch
through the hole, loosen the trunk liner near the
switch by removing the cargo net hook and pulling
the liner forward to expose the switch.
Use the following procedure to reset the fuel pump
shut-off switch.

shut-off switch by pushing in on the reset button.

the lug nuts on each wheel must be removed and
replaced with a special key. The key and registration
card are attached to the lug wrench and stored with
the spare tire. If you lose the key, send the
registration card to the manufacturer (not the
dealer) to get a replacement key. If the lug
wrench/lug nut key assembly is lost, see your
nearest Ford or Lincoln Mercury dealer who has
access to the master set of keys.Do not use an
impact wrench with the anti-theft key.
To remove the
anti-theft lug nut:
1. Insert the key over
the locking lug nut.
Make sure you hold the key square to the lug nut. If
you hold the key at an angle, you could damage the
key and the lug nut.

apply pressure on the key with the wrench.
3. Turn the wrench in a counterclockwise direction
to remove the lug nut.
To install the anti-theft lug nut:
