[DML] Re: DML: Another Delorean Tale

["DMC Joe" <DMCJOE@xxxx>]

Steve,
No mystery, here. He is talking about the inertia (impact) switch. The
switch which is common to all cars with electric fuel pumps is designed to
cut power to the fuel pump and unlock the doors in the event of an
accident. The rubber mallet will only work on cars with defective switches.
BTW the doors will not fly open, they'll just unlock.
