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.

See the solenoid on that cars only purpose is to send the power to the starter. The ignition switch sends power to another smaller post and that closes the internal switch to send power momentarily to the starter.

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

Take off all the body parts on Bugs 1972 Lemans.... Hit the dirt road that has a ramp between two sets of railroad tracks at 75mph & launch the car straight up & then straight nosedive ...
Last thing I remember is watching Bugs brand new battery fly off into a cornfield,never to be found again.

Yeah, mine was a 78 1500 in British Racing Green. Basically a go kart. My "new" car is something of an homage, I'll admit.

Many years ago I bought a Triumph TR-7. Thank God I had a pickup as well because that Triumph was by far the biggest money vortex I have ever owned. All I ever did was put money into that piece of crap. I remember the day I sold it like it was yesterday, one of the happiest days of my life.

Actually the ignition has to be on but yes it will crank over

On 90's Chevy pickups, if your fuel pump (in the tank) isn't supplying fuel, take a hammer or rubber mallet and pound on the tank a few times.

Same thing with the starter.

This got me out of a few pinches.

A lot of times this will work on anything with the pump in the tank.

Have someone cranking while beating on the tank works best

Started my 1985 ford tempo like this all the time.

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.

But you turned the key on first, correct?

I think it would do it if the key was on. Unless your pops was boosting stangs.

When I was about 18 I really wanted one of those or an MG or a Triumph or something. A friend of mine bought an MG Midget, and it was a fun car, but I'm glad I didn't have one. I don't think I could have afforded the repairs.

I actually kind of want one now, but not enough to actually buy one. I really don't enjoy car breakdowns.
