Fuel pump inertia switch? It's located under the passenger side dash for my 08 it might need to be reset?

Get a rental dude! It's illegal to drive with a deployed airbag. (I think)

Plus if the airbag went off the seatbelt pretension would've fired....right?

I was looking through my manuals and can't find it. It is usualy just a small black box with 2 or three wires going to it.

I have been doing some reading and it looks like on some new model f-150 they removed the switch. Not sure how acurate that is though.

There's gotta be more to the story of how you crashed...

right...if the airbag fired then the pretensioner fired too

and here if an airbag pops the vehicle needs to be towed from the scene...then again if your in a wreck that pops an airbag the vehicle prolly isnt going very far under its own power

Two weeks ago I totaled my 2010 super crew out when I hit a deer on the interstate. My airbags deployed and my truck wouldn't start at first until I reset the fuel shut off and in the owners manual it told me to turn the key on then back off and it reset. If your airbags deployed you need to get it towed though they have to be replaced along with your seat belts.

To mb offroading, your profile says you are an ASE certified mechanic for ford chevy mercedes, in california, and you didn't think of the inertia fuel pump shutdown switch? Really not trying to start anything, just saying.......
