Hi all,
Long time since i`ve been on LEC for a problem and always had good advice and help. Now getting the car back on the road again after 18 months sorn`d having fixed the n/s light motor with new bushings and a replacement engine fitted by my garage last year, and new battery. Heres a question regarding a small black box next to the battery with a little knob on the top and a red rod the knob is attached to. It pulls up about an inch and then clicks to a stop. You can push it down again in the same manner. Having had the car nearly 8 years i have never noticed this before having been into the battery bay many times. Now having the battery replaced i only noticed it when i`d taken the old battery out, so i didn`t try to pull it up with the engine running to see if it could possibly be a cut out switch. WHAT IS IT? Answer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I believe that might be the inertial fuel cutoff switch. In FED cars, its located behind the driver's seat but in UK cars I believe its near the battery. Doesn't sound like the electronics ground box which has no buttons and is marked "Electronics Ground". Go figure.
I do whatever my Rice Crispies tell me to do

Its the fuel cut off switch just in case you roll the car it cuts off the petrol pump its on the Wiki I think.
