This is not likely to answer your problem, but it reminds me of a similar 
situation on my D. When I replaced my fuel pump boot I noticed an extra 
ground wire crudely spliced in to the harness. Tracing it back, I found the 
inertia switch had been bypassed. I'm guessing that in the past, the switch 
had been in the wrong position, and a "clever" mechanic, not realizing how it 
works, had run the extra wire. (Depriving me of that particular safety 
feature.) I plugged the inertia switch socket back in, made sure the plunger 
was in the correct position, removed the extra wire, and by golly, it works! 
I assume you've checked the continuity on your inertia switch?
