    Josh from JP Auto & Fleet Services is going to teach you how to start a car without a key. Now, let’s be clear, this is not to be used for nefarious purposes and stealing cars.
    This technique is to be used when you are stuck and in a bit of trouble as you will see in this video. It is also used for diagnostic purposes such as those shown in the video as well.
    Let’s get down to business. I received a call from a customer of mine, his engine light started blinking on his car, flashing going crazy while has was on the highway. Luckily, he was able to get off the highway because his car died.
    He actually had to get off the highway and got to a store that was close by to me so I went to help him out. The Kia van wouldn’t crank over but I was able to get it started and back to my shop.
    The battery in the van was completely dead and the starter wouldn’t crank at all. I’m going to share with you exactly how I was able to get the van started and over to my shop in Lake Dallas, TX.
    Diagnosing the inside the car first, the lights are showing on the dashboard with the keys in the ignition but no “click-click” when turning the key. Now, I’m going to look under the hood.
    I knew the battery was toast so I had brought a new battery to the store where he pulled over and installed that prior to getting it started. I needed good voltage to be able to do all the diagnostic testing.
    I took my power probe, which can send power and ground to any accessory, and tested the battery I installed. It tested at 12.3 volts and that is enough battery voltage to crank this vehicle over.
    The van should have been at least turning over and cranking if not starting so I went to the next stage. Before I get into the starter, I’m going to start with the starter reply.
    One way to check the starter without getting into it fully is to send voltage down to it with the power probe. By sending voltage directly to the starter via the starter reply it cranked right up and started.
    What this tells us is we don’t have a bad starter. The next stage was to test the alternator. Using the power probe again, the alternator was at 12.1 volts which is below what is needed to start a vehicle. The acceptable range for an alternator is 13.3 - 14.8 volts.
    This brings us now to one of two things, we either have a bad alternator or an electrical issue somewhere that is not allowing the battery to charge properly. My bet on this is that we have an electrical issue.
    Several indications show me that this is a rust bucket vehicle. I came across a break in the wire on the fuel injector. I also came across several places with open copper wire and this can result in short circuits.
    Important note: this video is for diagnostic purposes only, we are not trying to steal cars here. However, a lot of times, this particular technique showing how to start a car without a key or how to hotwire a car is needed to rule out a bad starter, a faulty ignition, or troubleshoot an alternator battery charging issue.

    On the starter relay 87 doesn't close 30 power is sent through 85 and 86 which energizes a coil that magnetically pulls 87 and 30 switch closed which allows power to go to the starter I'll explain ... 87 is constant power key on engine off and when you turn the ignition switch to start it sends power to 85 through 86 that energizes a coil that magnetically closes the switch between 87 and 30 then power is sent to the starter a relay is a switch that controls a bigger switch

    Love the video just liked And subscribed. Somebody tried stealing my 06 ford freestar van and destroyed the immobilizer module and ignition plus the alarm wont shut up now. Is there anyway to disconnect the pats system I dont want to fix it because every time i loose the key it costs me $200.00 bucks. I lost the hand held last year so the alarm is worthless to me, i spoke with 4 guys at the ford dealership, they referred me to another guy from their collision center, he referred me to car toys. The closet thing that I've seen to a solution is if i get a bypass module. Can i use that trick with the relay pins to start it and does it have to be a certain tool or will anything work? Sorry to ramble on and bombard you with questions. This is my work van and I'm loosing a lot of money not be able to use it. Thanks any suggestions from you or anyone else would be greatly appreciated.

Not only this, but also the quality of the video 👌 .. yes the image came in clearly but thats not the quality that I'm pointing out. I'd say that ur ability to keep what u where teaching sweet and simple.. the cameras eye showed me exactly what I needed to see and it matched up with the choice of words that u used to explain each step to fallow to complete a task was well spoken.. vocabulary kept my attention because u where nit changing topics and u didnt start telling me ur whole life story .. i mean ive watched videos that are so dragged out that i have not much desire to finish watching the video. And i think its because u have a quality and strength to be a teacher! All im saying is im thanking Ģªhəđ right now and I appreciate u ! Thank u very much!

    2) When at a junkyard is there a way to spin the motor over without a key? I would like to know if it makes any noise while spinning over before I buy it.

    • @JPAutoFleet
      @JPAutoFleet  4 роки тому

      This more a technique to test cranking ability/starter condition and not to get the car running. But it will get it started on many cars. Mostly older vehicles prior to 2002. With newer vehicles often the anti theft and pass lock systems will prevent it from actually running. To answer your junkyard question it depends if the engine is still wired to the vehicle. If it is then do the technique in the video. If not, send 12 volts to the starter via your jump pack. This should atleast get the engine to turn over. Which is ultimately what you want to verify (the engine not being locked up). Hope this helps
