Default Wont Crank

As I have posted in the past I recently purchased a wrecked Backdraft car a while back. I just started the disablemly process but want to hear the run before dis Assembly. I have power `12 volts and so forth but nothing. Jay at Vintage said the car had ran after the wreck so just wondering if there is some kill switch or something like that. It is a 5.0 coyote. Also where is the fuse panel on this thing?? Thanks

You should have a battery red key that fits I into the battery cut off switch located under the dash on the transmission hump. There may be a small round black plastic cap on the fitting
where the key is inserted. Fuses should be on the passenger side. Pull the velcro attached
carpet panel off that is below the dash along the right side where your feet go.

the key he is talking about it a big red plastic thing for a shut off switch. It should be in the shut off switch. Look in the trunk for the battery and switch. Follow the battery cables from the battery to where ever they go. Some people put the shut off switch on the ground wire.

It may have an inertia switch that tripped when it was load onto a tow truck.

Send me an email, pretty sure I know what it is. Btw your cutoff switch is in the trunk, it was customer ordered that way.
