Hi guys..just bought this truck and while I was driving I lost acceleration truck still running just no acceleration. Pulled over Got out went to the fuel reset switch hit the button and truck started back up. Now I know I didn't hit no bumps so wondering if ya have any ideas on where to start..do I replace switch or try and figure out if I have a crash sensor that has gone bad..where should I start?

imo i would just leave it and see if it does it again. not worth chasing an issue that wont come back... idk where the inertia sensor is on these, but i imagine it probably may have been a fluke imo

Truthfully the fuel reset switches on these are so buggy. I hit a bimbo going 35 mph didn't trigger it so idk. So truthfully don't worry about it.

Inspect the inertia switch connector. Read of a few melting caused by a poor connection. As common a failure as the switch itself.

Not related, but the same with the multi function switch (MFS) connector in the tilt steering column. An issue with factory wiring being too short.
