T-Series Fuel pump inertia switch?

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.

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.
