90 XJ12 died (maybe shorted wire to fuel pump)
All, I was rear ended in the XJ12 recently. The impact was hard but the body was strong and only tweaked slight (something for the insurance company to sort out). I was able to drive it home however yesterday when I was driving the car, I went over a parking lot speed bump and the car cut out. I found that one of the wires to the fuel pump had disconnected. I reattached the wire but the car still would not stat. I tried depressing the inertial switch just in case but no luck.
I'm now wondering if I may have shorted something and blown a fuse. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

I took it up to my shop today and used my power probe to jump the fuel pump and get it running then started the car. After which I plugged everything back and it ran. No idea what how or why, but I think that the ball bearing in the inertia switch moved when I was hit in the rear and the speed breaker dislodged it.
