Start Your Car With a Rope (Dead Battery Life Hack)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- In this video, I demonstrate a way to start your car (when the battery is dead) without pushing it or using jumper cables.
That's why you should always keep a rope in the car.
This will work the best on petrol cars. I did try it on diesel, but it did not work.
Your car needs to have a manual transmission.
My brother told me that he saw my dad doing it, so I decided to try it out.
You are suppose to jack up the front wheel (on a front wheel drive car) and put the car in the 3rd gear.
Wrap the rope around the wheel and pull it.
If you're lucky (and strong), the car will start.
------------------
☠Warning:☠
As mentioned in the video, It will NOT work on any car.
Trying to start the car this way can be Dangerous.

has to be open diff car!!!
thats what i was thinking, since it uses one wheel
Haha. otherwise, things can go very wrong! lol
And without Anti-slip regulation, otherwise it can start to brake the wheel in air and the car can fall down from the jack.
If it's a LSD, then you won't be able to pull the rope anyway :)
James Gu jeep had an lsd from 99 to 2004 that was an open did with an oil pump. when a wheel would spin the pump would lock the diff.
chevy also has their g80 locker that is open until a wheel spins faster then it mechanically locks.
there are also viscous differentials that jeep and Subaru have used which are extremely slow in transferring torque.
Cool video, but you'd better hope you don't have traction control... If you have traction control, the car will pulse the brake on the wheel that's "spinning" (in this case the wheel jacked up) and when it hits the brake on the spinning wheel, it'll force the non-spinning wheel (the one on the ground) to spin, which will likely make the car jerk forward, fall off the jack and drive down the street. Still cool though if you know what you're doing
no, it won't ,because rear wheels are not moving. It just popup ESP error on dashboard.
You can avoid that by removing the ABS fuse before this operation.
No.
André Aguiar
Adaś Miauczyński Yes, but traction control will still activate if rear wheels are not moving.
If the car has traction control . . .
Don't try that with a limited-slip differential. You're gonna have a bad time...
Exactly. You will be crushed by your own car. Which will cause in bestscenario only yours injure/death.
Not really thats why the E brake is for
.....you could use two jacks?
Unless you jack up both tires. Then it will work fine
Depends on the type of LSD.
Winding the rope around your palm/wrist is extremely dangerous. The rope can wind back onto the tyre in the other direction, pulling you towards it, winding your hand or even your entire body on it. You have to hold the rope in such a way that you can easily let go in case it winds back.
WOW. youre really here!
No it's against physics laws , when u pulled the wheel the wheel will go forward and he is in front of it there's no chance that the wheel will go backwards
or you can just push it...
for sho nigga
Douglas h
+Paul Vasso he had to be in a high gear 1st gear you wouldn't be able to pull it but if it did fall off it would stall and he put the e brake
Paul Vasso no you can't lol who is gonna be inside the car too let the clutch out? lol
Mike Enns I've done it many times by myself when I was a teenager with a vw beetle. Put it in neutral, push the frame from the drivers side door, get it rolling, jump in and pop the clutch.
How do I do the same on a 6 x 6 G Wagon?
take off two wheels and go on, no problem!
Lets not forget in your case it also needs to be front wheel drive. Also what happens if you have a wheel power transfer system that when one wheel free spins it transfers power to the other on the ground and well the car comes off the jack and runs you over?
I would like to hear an answer to your questions as well since I was wondering exactly the same. :)
That won't happen as the e-brake is already applied. And as a precautionary step, I will suggest to put heavy/large rock on the both ends of each tyre that are on the ground to stop them from moving.
The reason why the car won't run you over?
Firstly, I believe the engine would simply stall if you try to start driving it on a 3rd gear. And that too, without any acceleration.
Secondly, even if the powers got transferred to other wheels then the engine would stall within a matter of seconds because of these 2 factors:
1. Rocks placed on the front and back of all three tyres that are on the ground,
2. E-brake is applied.
So, it will not run you over.
I hope this helps. :)
+Mohammad Farzan Hussain Yes, this helps, however i would still be kinda afraid cause its hard to know which wheels are pulling the cars, because if back wheels are pulling, by simple logic i think spinning front wheel won t have any effect, dont u think?
Precisely. Depends on the drivetrain. If you have a rear wheel drive car then you need to do this on the rear tyre.
This is kinda risky but helpful in many cases, like when there's no one around to help you push-start the car.
I believe it is always better to be knowledgeable about the possibilities. :)
Hey dofishbuster. It will never happen (at least not in condition show in the video). All normal city (passenger) cars are differential driven: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical_device) One wheel is strongly "fixed" at ground the other is totally free on the air, all the work will be transferred to the free wheel. As analogy, think of a 10ohm resistor wired in parallel with a 100000000ohm resistor, electrons will just prefer the 10ohm path :)
Aaaand, pertinent details omitted... The key must be turned to the FULL on position, also the vehicle must be in gear, 1st gear would be best. If you lack the strength 2nd gear may also work. It would not be helpful to try this with the key in the off position, or if the vehicle is not in 1st or 2nd gear. Also, take the vehicle out of gear before lowering the jack. If you think that this is all common sense, remember there have been people whom have set their new RV on cruise control and proceeded to head to the back to make a sandwich.
He shows all those steps that you said he omitted.
@Navneet Gautam BBA Regular It won't spin freely, it will require effort to rotate the tire by pulling the rope because the engine will be engaged and causing resistance. It may, in fact, require much effort. As the wheel begins to rotate you will also hear the engine begin to slowly turn over. The resistance is being caused by the compression of the pistons moving up and down inside the cylinders compressing the fuel as each piston reaches its top position. When the piston is almost at the top "fuel is compressed within the cylinder" the spark occurs causing the fuel to be ignited. If done with enough force "quickly enough" the engine will start. It may take a few repeat attempts before it fully starts and begins a stable idle.
can I use my ex's hair extensions instead of rope ?
she's sleeping atm but I don't think she'll mind.
drink OJ daily 👌
It works! I try it today on Mitsubishi colt 2008 1.300ccm
Thanks a lot mate! 😉
Another twist is starting with the rope on a pulley on the engine. Can be done on older tractors with big pulley for flat belts. Get a rope around that, be in neutral, and pull away. The pulley is connected to the engine. The gearbox being in neutral will not turn the wheels.
Same thing can be done on PTO - but you need an attachment on that PTO to provide you a large diameter pulley to wrap the rope around, and even so the PTO have massive gearing needing a really big lever to turn the engine from the PTO (but theoretically is possible to start from PTO)
that is one big ass lawn mower lol
the way he jumped for joy this might work after 10 attempts xD
Only on cars with no limited slip diff devises or the car could drive off.Mostly 4WD cars .If its easy to turn one wheel in neutral you are OK I guess.
no it wouldn't drive off because its a stick-shift and it would probably have the engine shut down with 3d gear and handbrake if it was an automatic i don't know but stick-shift would just die off
batteries dont go dead on 4wd. fact.
If you're strong enough to pull the rope hard and fast enough..then you're strong enough to push the car on your own.
Yeah how you gonna push the car and operate the car safely. Doesn't take much for a car to roll away on a slope
Ya i was going to say or you could, get it rolling down hill, drop it in 2nd, and dump the clutch simultaneously.
I could see this working in a survival situation were battery died and are stuck in snow or position, where you cannot push start car. Nice hack!
What's the suitable gear the car should be put in for this technique to work?
3rd
Why dont you just push it and dump the clutch in 1st gear? seems like it would be a lot less work, and a lot less risk
Have a doubt. When we have one wheel lifted up with Jockey and other wheel of the ground. When we put the gear in 2nd and use rope method. Won't the car move forward. Should we engage the hand gear? Please confirm.
that's actually a pretty good idea :)
Thank You!
Shake the Future id like too see this first hand .. looks fake .. but cool
Thanks man , gr8 idea , just did it with my punto (i had battery full but wanted to try) I had to try 3 times until i manage to get the right speed , but finally it worked .!
Wont work, the compression of a engine is too great. If you actually push start a car you use the momentum before you drop the clutch to engage the engine and let the compression fire. Often even going 20mph the cdar will still stall out to a stop.
Further you can park a car in on a hill using only its first gear to hold it. A higher gear will allow the car to move all be it slowly, you yourself are not going to derive that much energy to move it.
Please do not try it, I am turning this guy in for promoting a very dangerous ignorant IDea.
sometimes I like my own comment to get it started. 👍
I would highly advise no one actually try this. A lot of front wheel drive cars transfer power back and forth between both front wheels (typically only one wheel has power at any given moment not both) and there is a chance that something can go wrong and the car could take off if the wrong wheel were to suddenly get power.
No, provided it worked, which it would not the limited slip works in a manner to ALWAYS provide power to the tire with the least amount of traction.
If you jack up a car and put it into gear while running while leaving one tire down, the other tire will simply spin.
This from someone who has done a great deal of wrenching.
spoonerdee fin muevo g★
Use a jack either side?
AHAHAH where the f did you learn that? Ask them for you money back.
So that's like FWDRTCS (Front Wheel Drive Random Traction Control System) !!!!
Your the best. xD
Craig Sundberg then you either didn't have a limited slip or it wasn't functional.
a limited slip puts a percentage of the traction from the spinning wheel to the stationary side. if a limited slip was tight and operation correctly, it would still power the stationary wheel, or burn up the clutch in the limited slip.
I did it today and felt like I made fire by myself haha
hahaha you just taught so many dumb people. how to run themselves over. dude the stars need to align for this to work properly. it would be far safer ( while still being not safe, but safer then your idea) to push your car with the drivers door open get it rolling hop in and pop the clutch in first. sighs. if only I could be a fly on the wall in the back of the ambulance hearing "the guy on UA-cam said to do it this way" bring on the lawsuits brother
what if you put it in reverse and reverse the rope? then it can't run people over
CORY HAYNES
A law suit ?
Oh cmon..
its a life hack, doesnt mean you have to do it!... its good to note if youre batterys flat on the beach or roughish terrain and its just you and the misses in the middle of nowhere, that car isnt getting pushed anywhere! this would work!
Kudos for thinking outside the box, however cars that are AWD or have a proper LSD diff in them will not work and if it does the car would probably drive off. (particularly if its a diesel which has enough torque most of the time to do so.) a petrol will just stall when it hits the ground most of the time, however there are some that have enough torque to body weight where they will recover and just keep going particular if its in first gear (my 1.5 liter Dihatsu charade for example will recover because it has a bigger engine than most in it.) Also what wasn't mentioned was if it is rear or front wheel drive. so many things could go wrong with this that it would just be safer to get some stranger to hep push.
Hopefully the car doesn't fall off the jack while you're pull starting it and it runs you over!
The best is when it falls off the stand and plows into whatever the hell it wants while you run screaming behind it
That's why I keep two condoms in my wallet. The large one for me. The small one to start my car in this manner.
I hate these sitruations where I look like a dumbass with a rope trying to start my dually.
Just tried this on my old polo out back. It works. Period.
or you can pushe it ....put second gear ...releas the clutch fast.....youpiiii
My wife will be soooo happy with this solution!!
So if you own an automatic your fucked??? Lol
Your videos are always great and this one is definitely my new favorite one.
Hablando en español en un vídeo inglés, jaja, nunca antes lo había visto ;-)
Awesome. Just a pitty that some people would always like to leave funny posts, I never thought of it. And even if it take 10 times, it's still beter than sitting and hope the car will start by itself
édes drága Béláim! Most erre csak azt mondhatnám, hogy egy újszülöttnek minden vicc új...
Szerintetek a berántózsinóros csónakmotorokat hogyan indították el?
what is gear position? neutral or 1 st
Just use a chainsaw. Pop the bar and chain off the saw. Pop the serpentine belt off the cars alternator. Take a shoe lace or preferably a more heavy boot lace and put it around the saw sprocket and the pulley of the alternator and let it rip for 10 minutes. Make sure your key in the car is in the on position.
its a fidget spinner
As long as 1 wheel if off the ground it will keep running as it did. The differential allows that
this video is only relevant if you are stuck on incline at a point where you cant push or roll the car.
you should add that it must be an open differential car and either front or rear wheel drive. lsd wont work. awd wont work. also the quote from boondock saints comes to mind in this video: "name one thing you're gonna need the stupid fucking rope for"
ya me parecia que hablaban español jajaja
WHAT A STUPID IDEA!
IT IS VERY EASY TO START A CAR WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. JUST MAKE A PUSH FROM BEHIND OR IN FRONT OF CAR. IF THERE IS NO ONE IS SEEN TO SEEK HELP, JUST WAIT.
WAITING IS BETTER THAN LOSING LIVES USING A BAD TRICK..!
Nunca he tenido que probarlo con el coche porque es mas facil empujar, pero este mismo metodo lo he visto usar bastante en motos sin pedal de arranque y funciona bien.
Es un buen método para cuando el coche esté aparcado en fila
do you need to jack up both wheels at the front ? as if it starts and you are in gear couldnt it start moving ?
Finally something I could actually use. Now don't get me wrong here most of your videos are really good and I could even make some of them myself if I had time but this is something actually useful. For example I'm not sure if I really need a syringe that cuts my sausages but somebody might need it. I dunno. Anyway keep up the good work :)
Ha, that's true :-)
My girfriend actually uses the syringe to cut carrots, but it's not for everone.
This trick is indeed useful, but unfortunately will not work on every car. I tried to start 1.9 diesel, but could not. The rope was too short or I am too weak :-)

The only reason I can imagine to do this is that you are blocked in so that you can't roll downhill. But then it's probably not safe to do anyway.
I live on a dirt road. Push starting is problematic. This is great.
@@nobodynoone2500 don't push start your car at home 😁
Several times in my life I've driven across town to buy a starter because the one in my car doesn't work, or to buy a battery because the one I have won't start the engine anymore. I park on a hill at the parts store and drive home to do the installation.
You pulled the rope in the wrong direction.
where are the mythbusters when you need them, I don't know how well I believe this.
Good job ,but did you put the car in neutral or first gear ?
Manual transmission cars have a switch that won't let you start the car unless you push don't the clutch. Also you had the car in neutral, which means turning the wheel would do nothing to the engine. When someone "pops" the clutch to start a car, the car is moving and you need to "pop" the clutch. For what you did, you would still need to pop the clutch.
The car was in the 3rd gear not neutral.
I even show it in the video - top right corner:
00:45
OK, can't really tell from the camera view. I'm guessing the clutch safety switch disables the starter, but you didn't use the starter so pressing down on the clutch is not needed.
This is awesome. A real lifesaver :D
And i have a solution for those with rear differential wheel drive it' VERY easy!! All you need is a wrench set, pliers, penetrating oil, a 1/2" ratchet, a set of 1/2" sockets, a car jack AND a rope!
Here what you do: You lift the car then you unscrew the bolts that connect the drive shaft with the differential and put the rope around the shaft, then with one leg hold the shaft axle and pull like crazy the robe, voila!! your car runs again, and it's VERY easy.!! AWESOME?? lol
yes, in st. Louis we call it pop start and it works for stick shifts
Or you could just pop the clutch assuming you drive a manual transmission car. You're pretty much screwed if you drive an automatic. Maybe next time make sure your car isn't wasting any valuable energy after you turn it off and walk away.
can you explain why the 2nd front wheel is not turning...????????
Power is applied to one tire only by the engine. That is how this works. The drive tire is the one off the ground and is used to turn the engine over.
The diferential will apply the power to the wheel with the least resistance (the one in the air, atleast thats how i think it works, correct me if im wrong)
EdwardTennant Gaming Yes, that's how a car with an open differential (like this one and most FWD) works.
Mirror mirror on the wall, how to start my f*cking car!
Don't do this thing with car that have ASP, AESP, SPS or similar tracking control system, don't do that with BMW or Mercedes back wheel drivers, you might damage your car badly, otherwise it's ok on 2000.year or older cars.
it's work...
Just in Manual Transmission not Automatic one
la rueda porque no tracciona .tiene traccion independiente?
Thats a pretty bad idea if it falls off that shitty jack and then runs you over.
Handbrake is activated for a reason. It'll make it stall if it ever comes to fall on the ground.
can work in some cases,,, tho 9 times out of 10 you would just push the car fast, jump in and drop the clutch in gear, (try 2nd).
interesting. I'll toss a long rope in the boot just in case I would have to try this ^.^
Jeezus.. i thought any grade school kid whose parents owned cars with manual transmissions would have heard of push starting..no jack,, no rope,, just a vehicle, some muscle, and pavement that was reasonably flat or sloping downwards
Maybe with warm engine, which was just turned off. And the battery can't be completely dead. IMHO when you want to do this in cold morning you are chanceless. Much easier is just push car, jump in and then engage gear and start it (tested many times :))
Hello Person Scrolling Down The Coments Hope You Have A Good Day ! From A Tiny UA-camr!!!
when he said manual transmission i was like, Yess!
I don't think it would work on any car from this century though, the moment car's ESP detected one wheel slipping (= the in the air) it would engage breaks on that wheel to direct torque to the one on the ground and there it goes, jack leaving a nice dent on the doorstep and car stalling. But I might be wrong ......
Really good way to destroy your jack. Axel isnt lubed enough, youll pull your car right off the jack, screw up the jack, probably put a hole in the floorboard of your car, and possibly get run over by a car.
STOOOOOP!! COMMENTING AND ARGUING ALL YOU NOVICES!!! CARS ARE NOT THE SAME AND SINCE THE EARLY 90'S, DIFFERENT MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN USING NON COMMON IDEAS OF THEIR OWN. THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT WORK FOR EVERY CAR !!!
Need to be front wheel drive, manual and have an open diff. Any other diff will have your car rolling down the street and probably over you.
Firstly the differential transfers energy to the wheel that has the less friction,that means if you jack the car with both wheels into the air you can stop either wheel with your hands as it transfers no torque if both don't have friction!
If it has a locking differential or anything else the worst case scenario is that the car will fall down,in such case the engine will stall immediately!
The most important thing that no ignorant alarmistic douchebag mentioned is DON'T wrap the rope around your hand!!!
You all say the car will run you over, the car is in 3 rd gear if the car falls off the jack the engine will stall out as the gear ratio is too high to pull at stand still. What happens when you drop the clutch in 1st with no throttle it stalls the same will happen if the car falls off the jack
this is very unsafe, and not to mention newer cars need enough battery power for the computers for it to start. If I leave the lights on and run the battery down i can't pop the clutch to start it, I've tried may times. When I had a bad starter wire I could pop the clutch but not with a dead battery. Computers need power, no distributor means electronic spark, no power, no spark, no start.
Will not work with a dead battery. May work with a low battery but not a dead one.
Why? A couple of reasons.
You need a battery to make spark and run the electric fuel pump.
The alternator will not make any output voltage with some battery current to get it all excited and putting out.
Awesome hack. No different then popping the clutch. 👍
u make it harder cos u could just push it down a hill even 30 degree with neutral position since it is manual and jump in. put 2nd speed and start. I already did it when I forgot my lights on and it was -20 cold so my battery run out and I was alone. and it worked
i used to puch my ranger and hop in and throw it in gear and take off. but thats with a 4 banger. my buddys old f150 would just lock tje tires up. we couldnt get that motir to turn over.
If you don't have a battery this will not work, but if your battery is only run down well maybe. But good luck finding a standard transmission auto these days.
Its the same as giving it a push start...its a Big NO NO with cars having a catalytic converter
.... this will damage your catalytic converter!!!
just park on a hill, then pop the clutch.
One wheel will be on jack and other on ground,,,,if car is started the wheel on ground will move ,,,,how to over come it,,,,,
Title should be "How to fuck up your alignment in less than 5 minutes." That is unless you have an adequate amount of car jacks.
This can work but the battery will have to have some charge. A manual trans car can be pushed or this method tried(so that the engine spins) but with a totally dead battery the alternator won't make power & the car won't run.
This is hella cool!
the only way this could work is if the motor was tiny and the neutral safety switch was disabled. Also i'm sure there are gunna be a few people getting their arms ripped off by doing this method due to having the strap wrapped around their hand
tried this and the rope got caught pulled me over face first then the jolt of the rope binding knocked the car off the jack and then it drove into my neighbors house... smh...
too bad about 1% of cars in the US are manual shift. Thanks for posting the video though.
Sad, but true :)
A few years ago I tried to get a manual rental car at LAX, then in LV, but there weren't any, not even in the sports cars!
Anyway, there's a world of people outside the US that might find this trick handy.
This will not work with out a battery with at least some voltage. Alternators do not work, unless there is a little current to create a field in the alternator. A generator would work as it has residual magnetism. And like he said, only manual transmissions. But who has that anymore?
This is just clutch starting a manual. You don't need a rope or a jack to do this, and it's much safer to do it without them. A good push in neutral, and then you pop it in first and drop the clutch.
yeah may not be safe but when your stuck in a forest and no one knows your there and its the only choice i'd rather chance hurting myself then starve or freeze to death,
if you break down at a supermarket you would be a fool to try it,
if the tranverse engine layout is the cam pulleys to the left and gearbox to the right as you look at the engine such as a golf mk4
go for the wheel nearest to the gearbox as often its a shorter driveshaft which means more torque is outputted to the engine by the manual spin,
again with the same layout jack the front up with the engine idle and not in gear you find one wheel starts to spin, you stop it spinning then the wheel on the other side starts to spin, this drive layout also explains why fwd cars tend to spin on one wheel when doing a burnout,
as the driveshaft is shorter so less twist to it and so transfers a higher level of torque to the drive wheel
when in gear with one wheel on the ground and the other in the air the power will only go to the free wheel so the car wont move but the wheel in the air will spin at speed
Not many manual transmissions left in the US. The good news is the carjackers can't drive them and leave you alone.
Dis only work in mother Russia 🇷🇺
Can't believe you used the widow maker ( scissor jack ) & not a trolley jack !!!!!!!!!
Dangerous AF!!! What if pulling the rope starts the engine but the car falls off the jack-stand?!
this method is ridiculous it would take so much less time to just push hop in the driver seat and pop the clutch in second opposed to taking time putting the vehicle on a jack jacking it up wrapping a rope around and yanking for dear life not to mention a second person needs to be there to release the clutch to start the motor this method takes longer and is much more difficult
