Why would fuel cutout light on dash light and cutout switch not tripped and car will not start?

is the cutoff switch a normally open or normally closed switch ? If it a normally closed switch as it should be then the switch will need to activate with the ignition in order to supply fuel. There could be a problem with the fuel cutoff relay or a fuse. Also if you are using a non factory key then this might also happen.

What needs to be replaced if the dome light does not work on a 1996 gmc sierra?
Start with a new bulb and check the fuses. Some of the GMs have a button next to the headlight switch that cancels out the dome light if so desired, check to see if that switch is on or off.

Where is tha kill or reset switch on a 2001 ford mustang that wont start?
If you mean theft system activated, it can only be reset through computer by an auto locksmith or dealer. If light flashes when key is on, theft was detected. If light is not on and you have no fuel at schrader valve on rail- you can try inertia switch for fuel.

While the probable answer is that the fuel cutout has been trigggered by some external shock, Another case where the light comes on is when the ignition switch has shorted. Open in the switch may not cause the same light. Shorted switch can cause the starter to become engaged anytime the gear selector (auto) is in park or nutral.Other shorts in the ignition switch can dump direct to ground without energizing the starter. A battery draw test would show voltage draw in this case but isolating voltage draw on modern cars is very hard with aftermarket or factory valet and alarms engaged. I don't know, but I had that once and had to find the button to reset it so I could start my car again. The button is in the trunk, on top on the right wheel well. Push it and your good to go...Maybe. Can the ignition switch still be bad even if it doesnt engage the started anytime, but its starting and the Fuel Cutout is lighted only when starting?
Why would the fuel cutout light come on on your 1989 Ford Escort GT and how do you go about fixing it?
Does the car start? because if it doesn't... then your fuel cutoff has been tripped, likely by the car getting hit closer to the gas tank and tripping the cutoff valve. if it's anything like the cutoff in a '91 escort, you should be able to take off the small panel access in the trunk/hatch and reset the switch, if it's the same, it's pretty easy

You've tripped the alarm system. You have to reset the alarm with the remote control fob and then everything will work fine.
What does the Fuel Cutout light mean?
It shouldn't go on and still start as I understand it. The fuel pump inertia switch it designed to shut the fuel pump off in case of a fuel leak or an accident. Inside the switch is a ball that is held magnetly rolls forward and engages a swith to stop fuel flow. It can be reset by by a button the top of the switch. It is located in the left rear of the trunk compartment.

What to do on Ford Escort 1991 if Fuel CutOut light is on only when engine is cranking and fuel switch was reset and fuses checked and it still wont start?
The switch may not be functional, or may not be rest correctly. If the vehicle was in an accident, the fuel pump or wires might have been damaged. this could cause the switch to retrip.AnswerI'm sure it is, as when i put it to wrong position the light is on all the time, if i put it into right position the light is on only when I'm starting, and the engine is cranking. Any idea what else might be causing this?
Your 1993 ford probe SE has no spark and fuel cutout light is on help please?
Pull back the trunk carpet/mat on theleft side near the tailight and you will find a reset switch to the fuel pump. This may be your problem. It can get shorted out by moisture leaking in from around the large rear window seal. Bypass this switch and see if your car will start.

The button is supposed to be DOWN ( if the button has popped up then the switch is " tripped " and no power is going to the electric fuel pump )
