Hey I own a 98 Exploroer Sport 4X4 and i have set the Inertia Switch off a few times. I replaced it with a OEM piece and it still happens when I am wheelin. Please if possible (I seen Ian do it on a show at some Mud bogging race if i remeber right)give me the step by step on how to do it.

Have you asked a tech at a Ford dealership?

I found this:

thnx HArold....however that is not much help....found it a while ago...i know there is a way to override it totally...
Ian Johnson of Extreme 4X4 did it once on a show...thats were i got the idea...however i cant find any instructions on how it is done...asked the ford tech's and they would not recomend it being done so they would not tell me how...this is why i am asking the only person i know how ...IAN JOHNSON....i actually hope he reads these forums and replies to me...i cant find any contact information from teh Extreme web site...and yes EXTREME 4X4 is an amzing show witch just made POWERBOLCK the reason i call in sik on Sundays

Over-riding it totally would be just taking out the switch and hardwiring it in without the safety switch.

You might have more luck finding Ian at:

Here's the email for Ian and the Xtreme crew:

thnx so much Harold seen that email didnt think it was the right one...thats what i want directions for is the proper way to hard wire it...dont want to mess it up...afraid if i cross wires wrong i will fry something....thnx again

Good luck!

Dang still no luck finding out how to do this yet....set it off again over weekend and the dang thing wouldnt reset sat in the midle of a big field for 5 hrs waiting for the click....never happened....cost to have towed out of field....its called recovery...795$ canadian....god how i hate that dam switch

I have spoken with a couple guys at the Ford dealership that I know. They start with the usual that it is not recommended. From what they tell me that a simple toggle switch to shunt around the eretia switch will work. Since this switch is not a high current application then this would be a simple way to fix it. The only thing is to use the same gauge wire as the switch and once the ertia switch is working turn the toggle off.

thnx...now do u know what wire to hook it up to...and next thing is when i am offroading do i flip the switch off so it dont trrigger the inertia switch when i hit a big bump....
i hope u can give me more directions with what wire to hook to..
I have all kinds of automotive wire avail....I have a freind who builds wiring harnesses for the west coast customs in amustburg ontario...they build kit car Cobra's

Thnx again

I am not sure where to hook it up to but when I see the guy next time I will ask. From what he suggested was to not flip it on only if the inertia switch triggers and you cannot get it started again. Then flip it.

Unhderstood now and i do thank u for ur information...tell him when u see him again i thank him for any information he forwarded to you. I know i am dieing for the day it dont leave me stranded in the bush for hours on end.. Thnx again
