Remove the passenger-side kick-panel.
1 Remove the pin-type retainers.
2 Remove the nut.
3 Remove the kick-panel.

You'll see the Inertia Fuel Shutoff (IFS) switch. Reset it by pressing in on the plugged on top.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers
