Default Inertia Switch

Can anyone tell me where the inertia switch is located on a 01 English S2K?
Thanks

Euro cars have a fuel pump inertia switch...

It's been posted on S2ki before, IIRC, it's under the dash.

Huh. My Audi had one of those. Sees over certain G level and kills the fuel.

It's designed to shut the pump off in case the car is in an accident.

Ford has been using them for years.

I've seen 5.0L Mustangs trip the inertia switch when they break an axle at launch.
