Does anyone know where this is located? The last time my fuel pump stopped, it was because the switch had tripped. I took it to my mechanic and he reset it - I failed to ask where it was located. I am pretty sure that it is the switch - I drive by turning on the ignition, connecting the fuel pump to the battery with an aligator lead, and then cranking the engine.

..and if ya shunt it, it is no longer an issue.
 
I put one on the 72 as a safety factor and I pop it out as a theft deterrent when parked. I mounted it up under the windshield piller so it's easy to reach. I don't think many thieves would even know it's there. Peace of mind I guess, knowing or hoping the fuel pump would shut off in case of an accident.
 
~HERE~ is a nice video of John Twist explaining these devices.
