Where is it on the LS?

If I should get whacked, I'd like to know where it is so that it can be reset vs spending cash on a tow truck. That is if the car is still drivable of course.

Drivers footwell, where the foot activated e-brake would be. It's in the OM.
 
From the manual:
The fuel pump shut-off switch is a device intended to stop the electric fuel pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.
After a collision, if the engine cranks but does not start, the fuel pump shut-off switch may have been activated.

The fuel pump shut-off switch is located in the driver’s foot well, behind the kick panel. The reset button (RED) for the fuel pump shut-off switch is accessible through an opening in the kick panel.

Use the following procedure to reset the fuel pump shut-off switch.
1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
2. Check the fuel system for leaks.
3. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the fuel pump shut-off switch by pushing in on the reset button.
4. Turn the ignition to the 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.
 
Beauty - thanks fella's :).

It occured to me tonight after putting my car in the ditch (again). Thank God I didn't hit anybody skidding sideways through that intersection; snow was blowing all over the place, didn't see the stop sign at the T intersection until I was 20' away from it - scared the crap outta me.

Came within feet of bonking a hydro pole, and realized that if I hit with minimal damage (low speed), the car wouldn't be drivable because I wouldn't know how to reset the pump.

Hopefully I never need to use this info - but I'm glad to have it.
 
damn dude I am glad I live in FL NO SNOW (well not in years!!!!!) I know for a fact I would have problems with snow (I have problems with the FL ice (OIL AND RAIN)} Well good luck with it....
