Behind the steering wheel under the dash, You can see the 2006 Chevy Cobalt inertia or fuel shutdown switch and there will be a little circular button that can be pressed to reset it. In order to stop a potential explosion or burn, the intertia switch is progRammed to shut the fuel pump off while in a crash or disaster. The motor unexpectedly fails or stalls, the key can trip intermittently, unable to start the car, any of the signs of a failed shut-off switch. The interia switch is expected to last the life of the vehicle, but often it will fail to cause driving issues for the car. The cost for a replacement switch will range from $20 - $50 depending on if it's an aftermarket or OEM product.
