"Why is that possible" The reason behind this is the only thing the key needs to do on older vehicles, is just unlock the ignition pin to turn it, which is why with old cars that have a broken ignition pin, you can twist the ignition and start the car with a screwdriver or even just your hands if the ignition has those little nubs that come off to help turn it.
Right, the ignition switch is in fact, just a switch. It's a switch on a locked cylinder though, extremely similar to a padlock. The key does not complete the circuit, it's not the switch. It's just what allows the switch to move. As soon as that cylinder is turned the key has completed it's entire purpose, it's no longer necessary (hot-wiring a car just bypasses the locked switch and connects the wires the switch would connect, with an exposed switch you can hotwire a car with a paper clip). Some cylinders are key retaining cylinders, thus when turned the key cannot be removed. On old vehicles they didn't care about that so you can pull the key out once that cylinder has turned (and the internal pins are aligned with the shear line). You can turn the ignition off without the key because once those pins are aligned with the shear line the cylinder turns, so long as it isn't turned all the way back into the locked position (again, just like a padlock). My truck is a 1966 C10 and I can start it up, take the key, lock the door from the outside with the key, and walk away from a running car you can't get into
@@davidriley9194 They did have them, but it was just a small piece that prevented the key from cranking all the way. The key's only purpose once you were in the vehicle was to turn the piece away so the ignition could crank all the way. As these cars were used, many of these systems eventually stopped working, with the piece getting lodged into where the key should be moving it. As a result, many old cars now can be started without a key. This is one of many reasons why manufacturers started using push to start ignitions, and key ignitions are virtually gone from the market (in the US, anyway).
Why NOT to take out the key while driving? Because your steering wheel can lock and you can't steer anymore. It's also possible to lose the break booster so you may need to press the break pedal much harder.
My uncle used to take the key out while he was driving his old Lincoln to scratch his ear. lol Blew me away. It was definitely possible back in the 90's.
@@maskedredstonerproz Must have something to do with that being an european car and these all being american. Also I've found some people have immobilizers and other anti theft systems in their golf 2, also just because it's old doesn't mean thee ignition pin is broken
Yeah, totally possible. Once lock pins are worn or broken, key isn't needed in the older trucks. Screwdriver will do the job. Security transponders built into the next gen key bodies have made it so the key now has to at least be close to the ignition block if not needed to turn it.
this is proof why you should try and see if your vehicle can start with out the key because you never know if it's possible and if it is you might want to get that issue fixed if you can
@@rockdem0n I second that since I recently got into a Chevy Impala from Y2K that had over 200,000 miles and you could take the key out at anytime you wanted it to

I'm a locksmith in Portland, Oregon and i have costumers coming in with same issues on the newer trucks or cars like for example a 2006 Toyota pickup The first reason is that your key can be worn out you might need a new one Second is your ignition is worn out The third is that someone before you bought the truck removed all the pins inside the ignition and any key can turn it now. I've seen that stuff happen before. so if you replace the ignition on it you will not be able to pull out the key from it while driving I guarantee you that. Thank you hope this helped.
You Failed. Keyless Entry means not having to use a "Key" too enter the vehicle. Clearly Mike shows he needs a KEY to Enter/Unlock the door then he can start it without a key.
In any manual car, you can drive with a dead battery, as long as the ignition is in the on position. When you dumped the clutch at like 40mph, the truck started, but it wasn’t in the on position, so no power was being delivered to the engine
@@morganrussmanmy step dad had the 2003 Saturn ion with part of the issue. You can take the key out while driving, but you still needed a key to start it
Yes there is a safety feature for shutting the engine off with the key at anytime. The reason for it is simple, if the accelerator sticks you can cut power to protect the engine.
It's a manual, Today that's the number one theft device. Not a single anti theft device to my 2008 Wrangler and its never been stolen, someone tried once when I lived in the ghetto and couldn't drive manual 😂
I had a '98 B2500 (basically a Mazda Ranger/same truck) that was like this. Manual 2wd. I drove it for a couple years before I realized it... one day while driving I inadvertently slid the key out into my hand. The only thing that prevented it from starting without is if the steering wheel had locked. That key... was so worn out, it was like mashed potatoes. No grooves or form of any kind left anywhere. And that truck sounded about like your Everclear drive when I finally drove it into the scrap yard. 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻
You must be able to turn the engine off at anytime it's a safety kill switch. As for removal of the key and the engine still running, it's just wearing down from lots of use. Had a truck that you had to put the key in and turn it on then press a start button and you could then remove the key and leave it running lock it up and walk away but to shut down the engine you had to put the key back in trunk it off then pull a knob that pulled a cable that would shut down the engine. If you tried to pull the knob without the key then it wouldn't budge no matter how hard you pulled on it.
I owned a Ford Explorer and my father needed my keys while the car was on. So I pulled it out of the ignition and handed it to him. & he was like yep it’s a Ford lol
In a manual car if you turn the engine off you can still have it running if the gear is engaged (of course you wouldn't have acceleration, just engine braking). If you put in neutral the engine stops, but you can "restart" is by engaging the gear and releasing the clutch. If you turn the ignition on then you have power again. With the automatic transmission when the ignition is off the solenoids lose power and the transmission is in neutral. Even if you turn the ignition back on the engine can't restart by itself because the automatic transmission requires oil pressure to engage, which is provided by a pump driven by the engine
liar his trucks steering wheel did not lock up nor did the engine turn off the only thing that happened is he figured out the key was there to make him feel like he was starting his truck up nothing more because his key is not even needed to start start the engine up this goes to show testing is important because you may think you need the key and find out you actually do not need it for anything other then locking the doors
Whenever you’re attempting to turn off the engine while the car is still moving, it’s very important to be aware of the different key positions for “OFF” vs. “LOCK”. Don’t turn it all the way to lock, just to off.
@@maxine_q I know that. What I'm saying is that if you have a need/desire to turn the engine off while moving, you should only turn the key to "OFF". There's no reason to pull it out.
@@kekun3740 Not in case of manual transmission, so it is dangerous to do it on manual transmission cars that require key. Steering lock usually turn on when you turn the ignition off and pull the key out. If you just turn ignition off and leave key in, then you can still steer, but of course no power steering and other things that need running engine.
The short answer is you lose power brakes and power steering and have to strong arm the car. Might need 2 feet on the brakes if the pedal is wide enough. I've tested this out because it's a good scenario to practice in the event of an emergency if your car becomes disabled. If it's a manual, you can still downshift to help reduce speed faster than braking alone. Doing these together will stop you faster without resorting to a hand brake. If it's an automatic, put it in neutral and attempt start the car again while in motion. If it starts, put it in drive and move along. Drivers Ed teaches you these things which become permanently embedded in your brain. Also this guys Ford truck has probably had the ignition tumbler tampered with to easily remove the key like that.
This is so you can leave your car running (if needed), lock the doors and leave. And then return to the car still running with doors locked. This is helpful in very cold areas or when you have to leave the car frequently, preventing ignitionkey and starter wearing prematurely
The keys on older pickups are primarily designed just to push the pins in the right position so the key barrel can turn. We have a 91 Jeep Wrangler Renegade and removing the key from the ignition while driving doesn't do anything. The ignition can turn between accessory and start without a key. If you turn an older style barrel to lock without the key, it will become stuck in lock until you use the key again. Practically scarred the shit out of some of my passengers removing the key while going down the road.
It doesn't have a chip in the key, in the newer cars (96 and newer) there's an ignition chip in the key, if you make a spare without the chip, it'll go in, turn, but won't turn over
Years ago, some GM cars had "lock", "off" and "on" positions so that you could remove the key and leave the ignition unlocked if you wished. In that same era GM had few variations in their keys, so my Pontiac, my neighbor's Buick and my sister's Chevy had identical keys. Apparently, the Honor System still worked back then.
The college I went to back in late 90's and early 2000's has a Ford Escort Station Wagon that had no key. You could start and stop the car the same way you did on the video. - Thank you for bring me back. Also, while at school, I had the same Ford Range but it was a '94 , single cab with a short bed. No A/C, No Power Steering, Manual Trans, Bench Seating, & I had to put a radio in. I also could take the key out while the truck was running. I never tried to start the truck without a key. Now I wish I did. - I hit a stone wall with that thing and it still ran for 3 - 4 more years.
the mechanism is worn. Old Holdens (Australian GM's) used to have that happen when they were well used. Btw be careful turning the ignition off while driving - steering lock will engage!
Yep, almost all ford's at that time did that. I owned that exact same truck and others and you can pull them out while driving and turn it off, start it what ever. But, if you turn it off ALL the way with the key in the ignition it WILL lock the ignition. At this point, you won't be able to start without the key and the steering wheel will also lock.
Thanks! You have literally answered my questions I had for years. There's this experiment and the other ones with the putting the transmission into gear while driving. I'm glad I don't have to do them myself lol, sub'd
seen a '98 ranger do that. Always thought it was so that you could turn the passenger airbag on/off while the engine is running as that was for some reason an actual switch that used the key (probably only as a lever though). at least on that truck if the ignition was in the "lock" position then it required the key to turn, but once out of lock it could turn to on, off, start, or even back to the locked position, accessory is on the other side of lock so if left in that position it would have to turn past lock to do anything else essentially still being "secure". that accessory position makes me think it was intentional, but maybe it's just from being a worn out lock
Old school ignitions man. All you needed was a flathead screwdriver and a hammer and you could bypass the need for a key to start them. Chances are that's what someone did to your truck once upon a time. Be checking up on that transmission though, putting it in reverse put tension on your synchronizers, your drivetrain (the u-joints) and the spider gears in the back. It's a bend don't break deal, but I've seen cases where the driveline even gets twisted up like an old plastic straw. If a u-joint goes though, said driveline can catapult you into the air, so make sure to check them for shearing and stuff. (two videos, one bit of advice)
Unless you're British lol, like me where we actually learn to drive a manual car and most British people have driven manual cars for most of their life
I don't know about in brand new cars, but I know that the 2003 Honda Accord that I drive, you can cut off the engine & still keep coasting unless you turn the key to fully off so you can take it out. If you turn the key to just radio, it'll keep going, but you'll have no lights or spedometer, but if you turn it back to "on," you can keep coasting. I did this going down a multi-mile grade, but I wouldn't recommend it because you lose power braking very quickly & then you'll have a hard time stopping.
This actually happened in some GM cars, mostly the Cobalt from the mid 2000's. IT was a pretty bad thing. Your car would die and the steering wheel would lock. I think someone even died unfortunately. The replaced my ignition switch on my Impala for free when I mentioned it at the dealership, even when my car didn't have a recall.
Yes I heard that some guys tried to save fuel this way while driving down hill. At the end of the hill there was a curve and when they tried to turn the steering wheel locked and they rammed straight into a tree. It was an old car so they were all dead.
Depends on the car. Modern manuals literally won't let you it physically prevents a shift from gear into reverse while you're moving, some older cars I think it'd actually go into neutral, and others it'd destroy your transmission.
it has a broken ignition. the key normally is locked in place unless the ignition is in the off position. i had a 95 ford windstart and an 88 mitsubishi mighty max that i could eventually take the key out while it was running, but i could not turn the ignition on from the off position without the key in it. the fact you can start it without the key, means the igntion is really messed up. it should be locked in the off position until the correct key is in it.
Apparently ford knew someone would leave their keys somewhere and they decided “fuck it, let’s just make it a keyless start vehicle” before keyless starts we’re a thing. 🤣🤣🤣
maybe its too old? my dad had a 1998 nissan sentra on base trim, and the car will fight you if you try to take the key out while started. If you are successful, then the steering will not turn, if u turn the steering wheel, then the hold behing the cover of the ignition will move, and u would not be able to put the key back untill the wheel is back in the original position
This mans really answering all the thoughts that I had as a kid😂

liar his trucks steering wheel did not lock up nor did the engine turn off the only thing that happened is he figured out the key was there to make him feel like he was starting his truck up nothing more because his key is not even needed to start start the engine up this goes to show testing is important because you may think you need the key and find out you actually do not need it for anything other then locking the doors
My friend did almost die doing this haha. The steering wheel locked
He would of use the key to turn off moter not just pulled key out
Whenever you’re attempting to turn off the engine while the car is still moving, it’s very important to be aware of the different key positions for “OFF” vs. “LOCK”. Don’t turn it all the way to lock, just to off.
@@kc9scott Most cars will only let you pull the key in the LOCK position.
@@maxine_q I know that. What I'm saying is that if you have a need/desire to turn the engine off while moving, you should only turn the key to "OFF". There's no reason to pull it out.
@@kc9scott But that was the entire idea of this video. If you can actually pull the key.
“It’s like I got Keyless go” 🤣 love it!
When you pull out your key and you are steering he is going on the steerlock no?
Only in park for most vehicles
Hes not turning the key all the way back to the lock position
@@kekun3740 Not in case of manual transmission, so it is dangerous to do it on manual transmission cars that require key. Steering lock usually turn on when you turn the ignition off and pull the key out. If you just turn ignition off and leave key in, then you can still steer, but of course no power steering and other things that need running engine.
The short answer is you lose power brakes and power steering and have to strong arm the car. Might need 2 feet on the brakes if the pedal is wide enough. I've tested this out because it's a good scenario to practice in the event of an emergency if your car becomes disabled.
If it's a manual, you can still downshift to help reduce speed faster than braking alone. Doing these together will stop you faster without resorting to a hand brake. If it's an automatic, put it in neutral and attempt start the car again while in motion. If it starts, put it in drive and move along. Drivers Ed teaches you these things which become permanently embedded in your brain. Also this guys Ford truck has probably had the ignition tumbler tampered with to easily remove the key like that.
This man risking his safety for our own sake what a great guy
"Well what do you know"😂😂😂😂😂 It drives without a freaking key...🇰🇪🔥💥
That Fusion video was my introduction to you lol
Same
Your the king of these type of vids awesome🔥🔥💯👍
He’s out of gas no creativity left he’s got a few breaths left before the nail goes in the coffin
This is so you can leave your car running (if needed), lock the doors and leave. And then return to the car still running with doors locked. This is helpful in very cold areas or when you have to leave the car frequently, preventing ignitionkey and starter wearing prematurely
It's like remote start without the remote!
The keys on older pickups are primarily designed just to push the pins in the right position so the key barrel can turn. We have a 91 Jeep Wrangler Renegade and removing the key from the ignition while driving doesn't do anything. The ignition can turn between accessory and start without a key. If you turn an older style barrel to lock without the key, it will become stuck in lock until you use the key again. Practically scarred the shit out of some of my passengers removing the key while going down the road.
You could literally start that with a screwdriver 😁
John Devost you could start it with your fingers
Don’t even need that lol
It doesn't have a chip in the key, in the newer cars (96 and newer) there's an ignition chip in the key, if you make a spare without the chip, it'll go in, turn, but won't turn over
@@GUMBYVLOG I wanted this bid to be about one with a chipped key but maybe all of his are to valuable to do that
You don’t even need the screwdriver
*gets stopped for overspeeding
police officer pulls out the key
Ford ranger 1994: see ya!
@SOSA driving 15 above 15 above speed limit
Could it be possibly that it got broken into a long time ago?
7:35 lol just the fall is funny idk why 🤣🤣🤣
Years ago, some GM cars had "lock", "off" and "on" positions so that you could remove the key and leave the ignition unlocked if you wished. In that same era GM had few variations in their keys, so my Pontiac, my neighbor's Buick and my sister's Chevy had identical keys. Apparently, the Honor System still worked back then.
Like my dad always said locks just keep honest people honest
I laughed so hard when he turned the truck on without a key😂
"Why is that possible? That's so weird!" 🤣🤣
2 Seconds Later
"Why is that possible...?" 😟😟😟
So basically, climb through the back window and of you go!
Well GOT DAMN
The college I went to back in late 90's and early 2000's has a Ford Escort Station Wagon that had no key. You could start and stop the car the same way you did on the video. - Thank you for bring me back.
Also, while at school, I had the same Ford Range but it was a '94 , single cab with a short bed. No A/C, No Power Steering, Manual Trans, Bench Seating, & I had to put a radio in. I also could take the key out while the truck was running. I never tried to start the truck without a key. Now I wish I did. - I hit a stone wall with that thing and it still ran for 3 - 4 more years.
the mechanism is worn. Old Holdens (Australian GM's) used to have that happen when they were well used. Btw be careful turning the ignition off while driving - steering lock will engage!
how lil uzi vert once said “you gone die”
Me wit an old Pontiac:
I can take the keys out while it's on
Be it the slowest car ever, sounds like a sports car as it runs!🏁 🙄 Vrooomm 2:11
Mechanic's must love this guy
Yep, almost all ford's at that time did that. I owned that exact same truck and others and you can pull them out while driving and turn it off, start it what ever. But, if you turn it off ALL the way with the key in the ignition it WILL lock the ignition. At this point, you won't be able to start without the key and the steering wheel will also lock.
My dad had to fully turn off his car to reset the air suspension system while driving.
Thanks! You have literally answered my questions I had for years. There's this experiment and the other ones with the putting the transmission into gear while driving. I'm glad I don't have to do them myself lol, sub'd
When the cop takes your key 🤣
seen a '98 ranger do that. Always thought it was so that you could turn the passenger airbag on/off while the engine is running as that was for some reason an actual switch that used the key (probably only as a lever though). at least on that truck if the ignition was in the "lock" position then it required the key to turn, but once out of lock it could turn to on, off, start, or even back to the locked position, accessory is on the other side of lock so if left in that position it would have to turn past lock to do anything else essentially still being "secure". that accessory position makes me think it was intentional, but maybe it's just from being a worn out lock
Old school ignitions man. All you needed was a flathead screwdriver and a hammer and you could bypass the need for a key to start them. Chances are that's what someone did to your truck once upon a time. Be checking up on that transmission though, putting it in reverse put tension on your synchronizers, your drivetrain (the u-joints) and the spider gears in the back. It's a bend don't break deal, but I've seen cases where the driveline even gets twisted up like an old plastic straw. If a u-joint goes though, said driveline can catapult you into the air, so make sure to check them for shearing and stuff. (two videos, one bit of advice)
Well most people nowadays unlike back then don’t know how to drive manuals🤦🏼♂️ So I guess the stick can be a form of security lol😂😂😂
Unless you're British lol, like me where we actually learn to drive a manual car and most British people have driven manual cars for most of their life
Most people in USA...In a Europe mostly driving manuals......and today they have 6 speeds.... :)
Well. Thieves know how to drive a manual lol
The ignition is messed up!!
He clearly doesn't understand how it works..lol. it's broken
When I drove my 91 olds cutty wit my friends I'd put ur into natural n take the key out and turn off the lights goin 70... they freak out lmfaoo
I don't know about in brand new cars, but I know that the 2003 Honda Accord that I drive, you can cut off the engine & still keep coasting unless you turn the key to fully off so you can take it out. If you turn the key to just radio, it'll keep going, but you'll have no lights or spedometer, but if you turn it back to "on," you can keep coasting. I did this going down a multi-mile grade, but I wouldn't recommend it because you lose power braking very quickly & then you'll have a hard time stopping.
Seen 7 different types of your videos dude And love them all !!!
This actually happened in some GM cars, mostly the Cobalt from the mid 2000's. IT was a pretty bad thing. Your car would die and the steering wheel would lock. I think someone even died unfortunately. The replaced my ignition switch on my Impala for free when I mentioned it at the dealership, even when my car didn't have a recall.
Must be some sort of fix to an issue chevy had before. I have an OBS truck and you can pull the key out and drive it like normal.
Yes I heard that some guys tried to save fuel this way while driving down hill. At the end of the hill there was a curve and when they tried to turn the steering wheel locked and they rammed straight into a tree. It was an old car so they were all dead.
* looses key
Oh its no big deal il just drive home without it
In next week's episode, I'll remove one of the wheels at 40mph with the key in the glove box 😳
Next video
What happens if you put your manual transmission into reverse while driving
Depends on the car. Modern manuals literally won't let you it physically prevents a shift from gear into reverse while you're moving, some older cars I think it'd actually go into neutral, and others it'd destroy your transmission.
My 2000 Blazer is the same way! Even though it has an anti theft system. I love the simplicity of old cars 😊
it has a broken ignition. the key normally is locked in place unless the ignition is in the off position. i had a 95 ford windstart and an 88 mitsubishi mighty max that i could eventually take the key out while it was running, but i could not turn the ignition on from the off position without the key in it. the fact you can start it without the key, means the igntion is really messed up. it should be locked in the off position until the correct key is in it.
Seems like a good car to steal
That’s hilarious
His channel must be struggling financially if he's resorting to this
You got it
Apparently ford knew someone would leave their keys somewhere and they decided “fuck it, let’s just make it a keyless start vehicle” before keyless starts we’re a thing. 🤣🤣🤣
maybe its too old? my dad had a 1998 nissan sentra on base trim, and the car will fight you if you try to take the key out while started. If you are successful, then the steering will not turn, if u turn the steering wheel, then the hold behing the cover of the ignition will move, and u would not be able to put the key back untill the wheel is back in the original position
