Weird tricks to cars ?
This is a thread about tricks you can do to cars. List the things you could do to your car to make something work when it was turned off, etc. Here's mine that I recall.
As a kid growing up, during High School golf season, our school provided Ford LTD's for us to travel to meets. We would cram 6 boys, a coach and 7 sets of golf clubs into a 73, or 74 or a 75 Ford LTD. When the meet was over and we were awaiting the team &individual scores of the meet, first guy back to the car jump in the driver's set. Coach would not give us the keys, so you could put your foot on the brake, wiggle the 4 way flasher just right without engaging it plus turn on the radio. Boom, music, you have the radio on to listen to the tunes you could find. You let your foot off the brake, you had to start it all over again. Finally he started to let us have the keys after finding out what we were doing. Somehow the flasher and brake lights would short / overload it's way over into the radio in the steering column and work. We found out just tinkering with it one day, early in the golf season, not knowing it would happen. Just being kids, things boys do when bored. |

You can bypass the solonoid on a 1960s Mustang by crossing two screwdrivers that are touching the wires on either side of it. It'll create a spark and start the car without a key.
Given that there was no lock on the hood, it was a pretty easy car to steal if you wanted to. You just had to find one where the doors weren't locked. Not that I stole a car, mind you. My dad restored Mustangs as a business, so we occasionally had to move cars when we didn't have the keys.

Never tried it, but have seen it mentioned all over that cracking an egg into a leaking radiator will plug it up for a short time

They still shouldn't have started. Crank sure but not actually start. No power to the coil. That should come through the ignition switch I'm thinking |

I wasn't keen on doing it myself. It would spark and crackle, and I don't like holding metal objects that are crackling with electricity.

I swear he did it. I don't remember him moving any wires or anything. Maybe my memory is faulty in that regard.

The side of the solenoid with the fusible links has power all the time which is why all the accessories work without cranking the engine over. He probably had a jumper wire from.the battery to the coil |

One day I installed a CD player in it. To get to the opening, i had to move the shifter back to drive while it was off. Went to leave, and hadnt put it back in park. Because I bypassed the whole key mechanism, the car took off like a ****ing rocketship. I SOMEHOW ran and jumped in the shit like a movie and got the car stopped. Only destroyed a fence gate. |
