1998 Ducato Inertia/fuel cut off switch

When changing my battery I seem to have damaged the inertia/fuel cut off switch so the van will not start as presumably the switch has done its job and cut the fuel off to prevent the van starting. Does anyone know if I can buy a generic cut off switch to replace it or does it have to be the origina?. Mine is identical to the one in the link below but new replacements do not seem to be available.

I see others online for other makes of vehicle with the same “PBT GF” wording but they all look a little different to mine and presumably it will not slot into whatever it needs to under the bonnet. I’m not mechanically minded as you may well have guessed! Thanks in advance

Thanks I tried resetting by pushing the button on top but it still doesn’t seem to work. I did get it to start once by fiddling with the cut of switch so it may not be totally gone. I’d rather replace it with a new one if possible to improve reliability as it has given trouble before.

Gavin. The inertia switch is a simple on/off circuit breaker.
To test all you need to do is to bridge the wires going into it, you’re van should start.
Any inertia switch will do it, any breakers yard.

I know it may be a stupid question but did you press the rubber cover in & hear a click to reset it. Or have you tried everything like that & nothing works? If nothing works then I would go to a good motor factors or fiat dealer with the chassis number (Brian Reynolds Fiat) Dunore, Drogheda. +353 41 983 2877.. Hope this helps you.
