Answer
Terron-

 Yeah...that's what is called an inertia switch.  It's a pretty basic part to replace.  Basically when it encounters a certain amount of force, it disrupts the circuit and kills power to the fuel pump so the risk of fire is reduced.  Replace it and you should be good to go.  Hope this helps.
