Just The Tip (Double dip!) - The screwdriver starter trick

cararac.com Jumping Starter Solenoid with Screwdriver – How? Is It Dangerous?

Today, we’ll tell you how to jump the starter solenoid with a screwdriver and will also answer the most common questions people ask about this way of starting a car.

Decided to double dip my just the tip for you all today because this information may help someone in a bind. I know it's helped me.

The article above explains how to use a screwdriver to engage your starter when you're in a bind and can get you home, or to a shop, or parts house where you need to be asap!

You can also use this method to test your starter and see if it's bad, the video below is showing you what the above linked article is telling you but the starter is on the ground. It's definitely not the best video but best I could find in the rush I'm in today and will give you a better picture of what's going on I hope!

Oh, one more thing, if any of this is unclear please feel free to ask! Admittedly I made this in a rush and only had time for a quick glance at the content. Sorry!
