Thanks for the reply, I have checked the fuel pump relay which is fine but is not being energised.if I bypass it the fuel pump runs but still fails to fire. Would you have any other ideas please.Thanks for the reply, I have checked the fuel pump relay which is fine but is not being energised.if I bypass it the fuel pump runs but still fails to fire.

It should be right where the 2 cables that control the cruise control and gas when you push the accelerator. It has the butterfly looking round piece in it that opens and closes with your hand at those 2 cables under the hood.
This should be in the owner's manual. I found the below on autozone.com, their repair help location:
An inertia switch is used as a safety device in the fuel system. The inertia switch is located in the cab, generally under the dashboard on the right side. It is designed to open the fuel pump power circuit in the event of a collision. The switch is reset by pushing each of 2 buttons on the switch simultaneously (some models use switches with only one reset button). The inertia switch should not be reset until the fuel system has been inspected for damage or leaks.
When the ignition switch is ON , it turns the EEC power relay ON . The EEC power relay provides power to the powertrain control module (PCM) and the control side of the fuel pump relay. Power for the fuel pump(s) is supplied through a fuse link or high current fuse attached to the starter solenoid (battery side). From the fuse link or high current fuse, current flows through the fuel pump relay and inertia switch to the fuel pump(s). The fuel pump relay is controlled by the PCM.
When the ignition switch is turned ON , the fuel pump(s) will operate. If the ignition switch is not turned to the START position the PCM will shut the fuel pump(s) OFF after 1 second. The PCM will operate the fuel pump(s) operate the fuel pump(s) when the ignition switch is turn to START position to provide fuel while cranking.
After the engine starts, the PCM will continue to operate the fuel pump(s) unless the engine stops, drops below 120 rpm or the inertia switch is tripped.
Hi Big bang, Is your vehicle a diesel? If it's petrol injection the fuel cut off is not a separate switch. When you turn off the engine you also turn off the power to the injectors and therefore cut the fuel feed. If the engine is dieseling after turning off, I believe you have a problem with a leaking injector. This will also become evident when starting as the engine will take longer to fire, as it will have lost fuel rail pressure. Regards John
No, Chrysler does not use an inertia fuel shutoff switch like ford. There is nothing resettable or anything like that with the fuel system. You can disable it by pulling the ASD relay or fuel pump relay/fuse. If you have a problem, you can check your relays and swap them around to see if that solves your issue.
im not sure on that particular vehicle but most trucks have a fuel pump shut off if the vehicle gets hit or is jarred real hard look in your book for the fuel pump reset button it is a inertia switch

Check and see if the theft or security light is on it may require a update
