Hi Laurynas Straksas,

What very frequently happens with those machines is this. On the drum cartridge, there is a green cover in front. Behind that cover there is a series of gears, one has a flag like tab sticking out. That tab is the drum reset, what it does is makes one swipe past the drum reset switch when you install it and that resets the drum life by swiping a switch one time. That flag has fallen and did not swipe your switch, you can do one of 2 things. You can have whoever you purchased the drum from replace the cartridge, or you can pop off that green cover and manipulate that flag to an Up and to the up position and replace the cover and install the drum in the machine, once the machine runs it will swipe the switch and reset the drum count, turning off the light and allowing your machine to run. Once you take the green cover off you will easily see what I am talking about, Flag will be down, work it until you get it in the up position. That will do it.

This switch would be located in one or two places. If you have Air-ride suspension the Inertia switch is usually close to the Air-ride switch. Sometimes there is a plastic cover over the switch in the rear cargo area. The rest of the time the Inertia switch is in front by the front seat kick panels.

There is a reset button on the switch, just press and hold for a second or two and the reset is made.

Maybe you means FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

This switch is located in the front

passenger's footwell, behind a

flip-up cover, by the kick panel

access cover.

To reset the switch:

1. Turn the ignition to the off

position.

2. Check the fuel system for leaks.

3. If no leaks are apparent, reset the

switch by pushing in on the reset

button.

4. Turn the ignition to the on

position.

5. Wait a few seconds and return

the key to the off position.
6. Make another check for leaks.

You should vbe able to unhook the battery to reset it you can also try jumping the switch on the drier to see if it kicks in also.

FUEL PUMP SHUT-OFF SWITCH

After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel pump shutoff switch may have been activated. The shutoff switch is a device intended to stop the electric fuel pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.
1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
2. Check the fuel system for leaks.
3. If no fuel leak is apparent, remove the cover plug in the trim and reset the fuel pump shutoff switch by pushing in the button on the switch.
4. Turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position. Pause for a few seconds and return the key to the OFF position.
5. Make a further check for leaks in the fuel system.

The fuel pump shutoff switch is located in the passenger's foot well, behind the kick panel. The reset button is accessible through the recess in the kick panel.

Replace the cover plug in trim after reset procedure.



THis and other details can find in the Owners Manual.

Hope helps (remember rated and comment this).

I have the same compressor with the same problem. I have temporarily eliminated the thermal reset with a piece of 12 gauge hard wire and it runs just fine. However, I do want to replace it before the warm weather come to the north. I tested the draw at 15.5 amps and the reset was a 17 amp. I am told by someone with superior electrical background that I need to install a 20 amp thermal reset in it's place. I have found that mine runs best when plugged directly into a 20 amp circuit and when using an extention cord I have a 10 guage cord that will carry the load needed to run the EC12.

The fuel pump shut-off switch could be in one of three places. #1 behind the right front kick panel cover.#2 behind the left front kick panel cover.#3 near the floor tunnel on the passenger side where you put your feet. I have seen people bump it with their feet,or car wash people bump it with the vacuum cleaner, tripping the switch and causing the vehicle not to start.To reset the switch,simply push the button down at the top of the switch,and you will feel a "click" when it is reset.

Fuel shutoff switch located by passenger right foot kick panel. remove cover and reset switch. Come problem with rangers. Switch gets weak and passenger kicks panel and truck shuts fuel off.

If it happens again or just won't start without holding down or just pushing the fuel shutoff (inertia) switch, than you will probably need to replace the switch. I made the mistake of going to pep boys first and they charged me $800 to replace a fuel pump that I didn't need, so don't do that. I had my mechanic move this intertia switch that is in a bad place inside the case below the glove box to the right. That is where the fuse box is. That way it is protected.

I just figured out what happened with mine. Whenever my 6'4" friend was in the passenger seat, I would have those problems and my truck wouldn't start. It was because he was kicking it with his foot.

So if you have the problem again, to get home, you can stick a paperclip in it, or have a friend hold down the switch. (Be sure and take the paper clip out, that is for emergencies only, because it keeps the pump running). Go to your Ford dealership and buy the inertia swich package. Mine was like $50. It has instructions on how to install it and where to put it, or just have your mechanic install it for $100, like I did.
