John: The inertia switch is a safety device that, with the aid of a heavy ball bearing insite a conical mount, pings out and trips off the fuel pump in the event of an impact. The car does not need to roll... It also unlocks the doors, assuming the central locking is working correctly. It should not work when up. It's quite likely to have been bypassed as there were faulty units on some cars, and the subject of a recall.
Daniel: That looks like one of John's stereo fuses. and they shoud be the only barrel type fuses in the car. His is a unique right hand drive car so many things are not where you might expect them. If you have one on thur brake light feed, it might be pulling power -off- the switch, not supplying it, but I'm speculating here.
