KirkVoclain Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I’m putting in some shelves and now I’m on the passenger side. I took off the rear plastic cover and found this square box. I’m wondering what is it? What does it do? I do not want to mess something up. Let me know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm223 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 That's the fuel shutoff solenoid. In event of a big enough accident, that will cut power to the fuel pump to help prevent fire/explosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if I lower it on the wall about 3-4 inches, but keep it attached to the wall, that will not be a problem, correct???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrm223 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I wouldn't think it'd be a problem, presuming it's also the same orientation as current, but I don't know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Nickels Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 From what I remember, fuel cutoff occurs if the vehicle experiences heavy impact or rollover. Although it's not suppose to, with some older cars, towing raised the car to enough of an angle to cut off the fuel. On 12/7/2020 at 10:32 AM, KirkVoclain said: Thank you so much.
