I was also under the impression that it should give a message on screen if switch had been tripped.
Push to reset.

Luckily never had to find out if it works in an impact it’s also supposed to pop the doors open and turn on hazards.

Or are you referring to a stop solenoid for a diesel? (If so cant help sorry)

Inertia switch is behind plastic panel at base of drivers A post. Passenger A post LHD. If tripped can be reset by pushing button in. It cuts supple of power to lift pump in case of a collision. But can get corroded contacts and cause lift pump not to work. If lift pump is working switch is fine. Fuel cut off solenoid is on injection pump. Fuel is cut off when it is dropped and on when it is lifted. It should click when ignition is turned on.
