icscomp Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I was in a minor accident a while back. I've been repairing the vehicle (cosmetic only) but now it won't start. the engine turns over, but doesn't start. I've been told there is an inertial switch that shuts down the fuel pump. I've looked all over but can't find it--can someone please tell me where it is? The vehicle is a 2010 dodge journey SXT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John/Horace Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 Try scanning for codes on ecm. If pump is being disabled it should show up. When cycled to run position pump should come on for a second and pressurize injectors. Owners manual would state there is a pump interim switch, have you checked it ? Was car running right after accident? CPS and various other things can disable fuel pump. Check fuel pump fuse and relay under hood. Push button start very sensitive to voltage; try jump starting car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 found using google........ also checking with your local dealership parts office would be a big help as well Dodge journey fuel pump relay switch - Fixya www.fixya.com/cars/t18558873-dodge_journey_fuel... Dodge does not use a fuel pump cutoff switch, that is Ford and Mazda, and that is is on triggered on impact that exceeds 3 G's. You have what is called and ASD fuel pump shut off relay, it is also triggered in a crash. The ASD is locate in the underhood fuse and relay center. Refer to the owner's manual for location.

icscomp Posted May 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 Thanx for the info-- I found the ASD relay, and the ASD fuse. Both of them tested good. It will crank over, but not start; hasn't started since the accident. I don't think the hit was very hard, none of the airbags deployed, and it was the left front of the vehicle that sustained the damage. Cranked the engine over for a while, then tried to remove the fuel rail, to see if it was actually getting gas; but couldn't. Any other ideas would really be helpful.
