Towing Your Vehicle - Ford 1996 Explorer Manual

Roadside Emergencies
The Fuel Pump Shut-off Switch
If the engine cranks but does not start or if you have had a
collision, the fuel pump shut-off switch may have been
triggered. The shut-off switch is a device that stops the fuel
pump when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.
For information on how to check and reset the fuel pump
shut-off switch, see Fuel pump shut-off switch in the Index.

Towing Your Vehicle

If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional
towing service or, if you are a member, your roadside assistance
center.
It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with wheel lift or
flatbed equipment. Do not tow with slingbelt equipment. Ford
Motor Company has not developed or approved a T-hook or
slingbelt towing procedure.
