The old other key 😂😂😂 love it

[@skyler9988]

I might need an other key for trying to start my truck, I have a completely flat battery, and no matter how long I jump my battery for, it doesn't want to go

[@Orcaben1]

​@skyler9988 time to get a new battery mate

[@SaliseProductions]

What exactly did he do? Sorry mate I don't know a thing

When Shauno said 'the handbrakes on' my head snapped up. Toyota handbrakes - providing a false sense of security since 1937 😂

[@klo1679]

The under dash pull ones have always been good for me and hold fine. It’s the normal style ones that people rip up and stretch the cable with that are the problem

[@AlexWithington]

​@klo1679 as weird as it sounds if i remember correctly, that is by design as to not fully lock up the wheels when it is ripped

[@crf80fdarkdays]

​@@klo1679the under dash ones are just as bad even with all new gear they don't hold too good. Never trust a Toyota handbreak on a hill it literally says in the manual to leave it in gear if on hills, they can and will snap I've seen it happen

[@Shagfabulous]

08 Tacoma here, and it's the 5 lug base so pretty light truck. Has let me down a time or two, especially on these hot Texas days after beating it down some minor fire roads🤣😂🤣😂🤣 always leave her in gear, never trust that e brake. Half pull works decent as a locker though🤣😂

[@justme5384]

If you can start it with a wire directly from the starter motor the problem isn't in the starter motor

[@joshuaknudsen8339]

Uhm have you had a bad starter???? Multiple clicks then finally starts. Chevy s10 had to replace my starter Same shit would happen turn key click turn key again click hop out smack it a few times and boom

[@nicholashiebert6657]

We used to take a huge breaker bar and ram it into the starter to get it going on an ancient dodge. Depends what's wrong with your starter 🤷‍♀️

[@KaiserC83]

Looks like this is the type of man who can take a bike, a lawnmower, a rock and a few beers and come up with a way to ecaspe a desert island 😂💪🍺

[@turnoff7572]

Wow, a lawnmower would definitely help as an engine, paired with a bike that can be used as a manual motor.

[@DEVIL666wtf]

Definitely not seeing as the starter motor isn't the problem here

[@Buzzhumma]

Is there islands in the desert? Maybe its a deserted island ? As a kid I had desert Island and thought that makes no sense so I eventually realised it was a deserted island which did make a lot of sense.

[@dirttales]

I did this for like 2 weeks every day to start my Jeep the last time that happened. Good ol bush mechanic fix.

[@THEpicND]

That’s awesome, could you explain what’s going on a bit, I don’t understand

[@dirttales]

@@THEpicND Most of the time the starter works and its just to solenoid that fails, so you basically bypass that solenoid using a wire, you're grounding the starter motor connector to bypass the solenoid.

[@THEpicND]

@@dirttales I see that makes sense, thanks for the comment!

[@kindness_matters]

I've done that. Many years ago. Except I used a butter knife. Touch the starter wire with the blade while also touching it to metal. 1966 corsair it was .

[@TechVortexX619]

We did this to the starters to 12 abandoned government vehicles that were donated to my school.

Yep I have defenetly used a bit of welding lead to bypass the starter solinoid.

[@lifes.way.too.short-au]

have a feeling that happened before now😅 cause Shauno just happen to have a right length of wire handly

[@johnpulei7916]

How can you do this? need too know if, I happen to be in a similar situation.

Wire on starter and a ground it's the solenoid fucked not the starter ya know bypass the solenoid by using wire on a ground

[@johnsmith-ko2tl]

That's pretty cool

[@gdaddy5193]

I locked my keys in my old Lincoln Town Car. Battery was dead so I couldn't use the key pad. I borrowed a jumper pack and a jack and connected the jumper to the positive on the started and grounded it. I was able to use the keypad. The mechanic at the station I borrowed the stuff from thought it was a very creative solution.

[@minonmadman2153]

Can you do a video on how to do that thing

[@kevinallen206]

Starter motor is the admin of the chat. Solenoid maybe.

[@maddog00155]

Just so you know. I definitely laughed

[@equakecs8119]

I still rock my VR ute with wires setup to a switch on my starter relay just because i broke the damn key fob. Cars old and beat up so no point get a new fob programmed 😂

[@nakeddrifter4685]

Bro who bought the comments? They're sus as hell. Also, there is nothing wrong with the starter if it works when you jump the terminals.

[@tim211100]

Sus is an understatement, your right though if he's shorting it it's not his starter it's the wiring which obviously is a bit dodge to begin with but hey they're just rich kids bush bashers so no harm

[@aaronnoyb]

He's jumping the solenoid, you can't do that with the key.

[@tim211100]

@@aaronnoyb you also can't do it if as claimed it's a starter motor .. think key or no key if the starter is fucked your stuck bro shorting the starter will just wind and do nothing if the starter is fucked like this mong claimed

[@aaronnoyb]

@@tim211100 Google, "1FZ starter motor plunger contacts" and you'll see how these work. The coil in the solenoid energizes, throwing out the bendix gear, but if the contacts are worn, the starter itself, will not spin. They're not like older starters, that throw the gear upon rotation, the plunger pushes the gear and makes the contact, to power the starter motor. Once dirt gets in, the contact no longer rotates through contact with the bendix gear and the contact disc, wears out in the two spots, it's constantly using. It's a common problem with these starter motors, used in Landcruisers, that actually see offroad use. Muddy water gets in then dries up, leaving the mud/dust behind.
