Default Fuel Pump Cut Off

I got into an accident last week and my 85 5.0 Mustang took a shot to the rear quarter panel. Almost immediately the engine cut off. I understand there is some kind of safety feature built in that cuts off the fuel pump in accidents like this. I am unable to locate any kind of a reset switch, if one exists. It is a hatchback. If anyone has any suggestions or knows of a thread that covered this, please let me know.

Thanks!

not sure on your car but mine is behind the driver side brake light under the plastic panel in the back.
