    Can anyone say what the black rubber grommet on the outside face of both the interior foot wells is for (mine is missing and I need to replace it)? To be clear, it is inserted horizontally in the carpet about 12 inches above your left foot. I need to source one but I have no idea what size or what to call it?

    I believe you are describing the rubber plug to access the fuel cut off switch on the drivers side.

    Ricambi's site is currently in maintenance so I don't have a great picture, but it's the cover for the "uh-oh" switch, #14 in the following diagram, part number 14507987.

    @RedNeck site is back up and running now @ www.ricambiamerica.com

    Our entire inventory is loaded onto trucks and moving to a new warehouse location over the next 48 hours. Our phones and (most) of our computers are a pile/jumble of wires and tangles. I expect/plan/pray we'll be fully up and running over the weekend. The new location multiples our capacity close to 5x times. The teething pain won't be finding inventory (we've got that game pretty well ironed out), it'll be a long hike from one end of the warehouse to the other end. Wheelie shoes might be our next accessory item...


    The rubber grommet is this : https://www.ricambiamerica.com/14507987-plug.html

    We have them in stock. Truck 2, shelf 16 and buried behind 15 years of file cabinets, I think. :)

    Okay, I'll bite. What is the "uh-oh" switch?

    Excellent response to my original post but ... I also wonder what the “uh-oh” switch might be?

    Under the grommet is the inertial fuel cutoff switch, It cuts the fuel supply if you are in an accident or even a spin out can set it off. Remove the grommet and reset the switch by pushing a button on the top of the switch. "uh-oh" is a good description.
