Today I managed to hit a tree hard enough to set off the airbags. When I hit the engine immediately shut off. When the airbags are deployed is there a safety kill switch? Because the impact was not that severe, I need a new bumper and the radiator is dented. From what I can tell its not bad enough to stop the engine from running. The radiator wasn't even leaking. Thanks
 






Check your inertia switch. Its in the truck. Looks like a little black box.
 






My understanding is that the inertia switch only shuts off fuel. As of now I have no power whatsoever.
 






I figured it out, thanks
