Fuel Pump Cutoff switch?

Where is the reset for the fuel pump cutoff switch? Brian is going to look at a 92 LS-Touring that has had the air bags deployed and it wont start. I figure that there is a cutoff switch that kills power to the fuel pump in an accident. is it built into the ECU? would resetting the ECU clear it?

Any ideas?

There is only a valve to keep it from spilling. There is no electrical shutoff that I can see looking at the FSM.

Can you hear the pump run briefly when you turn the ignition on? It should run for a couple seconds. Show him on yours before he goes to check it out.

Any CEL? Could be a cam angle sensor broken if the car has been hit in the front.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately the guy is looking to get about $4K for it and considering that it has qtr panel damage, busted windshield, deployed airbag, and front end damage, he decided to walk away from it.
