Default Fuel Pump Reset Q

Long story short i had to use the fuel pump reset button after i ran over something and stalled on the freeway. Afterwards the car started up fine and drove around fine but do i need to do anything else or am i good to go? I have a 91 tune if that matters.

The 'reset switch' is just a simple inertia activated switch.
In regards to the fuel system, no nothing else has to be done
there. Now back to what caused this massive amount of jolt
that tripped the switch. Check the underside and suspension
for signs of damage.

OWNERS MANUAL PAGE 175
Chocked full of useful information.
Look in the center console or the glove box for yours.

Did the dealer not show you where it was when you purchased the Stang.
I though it was part of the dealer delivery program.

I've seen these trip for no apparent reason (guy with a 05 Roush parked the car, turned it off, and it wouldn't start 30 minutes later because of the fuel pump reset). If your car ever won't fire up, but the starter still cranks, you should hit that reset button.

I got mine at dealer invoice and could not
get away from them explaining every detail
before I even got to drive her. I even had to
sign off on the pre-delivery checklist.
And a full tank of gas is the norm around here.
