Or just unplug it
Iirc, that's actually not that easy because the connector tab is on the outboard side. I think I was only able to unplug is after unscrewing the switch...but it's been a while since I touched it.
Yeah this is a real challenge

Ok...it's too cold out for me to verify right now. I remember this connector to be really stiff and hard to disconnect...but if I'm wrong, I can live with it.

It may need a good tug if it hadn't been disconnected for a while. Usually my go to method. At least with the hammer you could consider it a real world test to verify functionality.

For me, it's not the GIF that's funny. It's how much "yank" there was applied on that cable that gets me.

I don't know why, but I fell in love with a car Dereck showed two years ago. I have watched that show a few times and really like that particular car. I have seen plenty of other Bonnevilles, but for some stupid reason, it really caught my eye. I think it was the color and the interior.
He got it running and I am sure he sold it.

68-69 is my favorite of the B body pontiacs. Probably because I’m one of few who liked this movie when I was a kid

several cars and suvs have the inertia switch in that area; I've been known to punch the qp of an inconsiderate driver's car, and watch it die. Assholes that ignore crosswalks are a frequent target,lol.
My dad had to buy her a new car, off the lot, after he totalled her starliner. My mom always said he wrecked her cars; I dont remember her letting him drive the pontiac, lol. Emerald green,it was a huge boat with a 400v8 iirc.

I just showed my son that movie for the first time last week! He loved it, and I still enjoyed it just as much as when I was a kid.68-69 is my favorite of the B body pontiacs. Probably because I’m one of few who liked this movie when I was a kid
