It was my understanding that the plunger is pushed up by a ball laying in a cup;
when the car turns over or if a shock is applied the ball comes up out of the cup,
thus pushing up the plunger. The Inertiaswitch shuts off the fuelpump AND
unlocks both doors if they were locked...

I remember seeing an illustration of the inner workings of the InertiaSwitch,
but I can't find this picture anymore (it's late...) Maybe someone else
knows where to find this illustration?
