✅ HAMMER ON THE STARTER! What do you have to loose? It's no good anyway. You can usually jar the starter loose and get started by smacking it with a hammer or brick or tire iron or a 2x4. Anything can work. The heavier the better, but you need to access the starter. A pry bar has always worked best for me because it will reach from the top bottom or side. It isn't a guarantee, But usually it will work at least once to get you home or to a repair shop.

There's an old trick my dad told me, I smack the star a couple times every day for like almost a year and after that I got some money I replaced it and the car still with me after 10 years

@EasyFixShaun 2 года назад

Nice! Your dad is a smart man. When they lock up inside and are DOA often the hammer trick will get them going again. Not recommend to do it for a year. I always replace immediately because it only works a few times typically and then its locked forever. This works on fuel pumps also BTW. I have tried what you did and made it a couple months one time. I can't believe you went a year! Thats amazing😃🔧

@@EasyFixShaun manual transmition honda civic baby, yeah! is a 2001 got it in 2011, still with me, and i bascily make it a street car, i hit that thing, every other week, works for a while, then stops, works again, hit and works for a week, stops... and so on, for a year, then got new one, and never happend anymore. when is very hot outside, here in florida, it works better. but my stering whell keeps on throwing power staring to my driver floor, 3 mechanics don't know what to do, and me being a DIY just put a cut plastic bottle in the bottom of the fire wall, and made it drain the power sterring fluid and use it again, been like that for 3 year already.

@EasyFixShaun 2 года назад

Haha! Im glad it worked for you. Wow thats a weird one on the power steering. I have no idea on that but search youtube! Theres probably a video on it 😀🔧

@jinx_pachi4061 Год назад

Do that works on 09 jeep patriots tho?

@Betenoire62 Год назад

I tried the tap on a starter that ran but wouldn't engage. Thought it was a broken Bendix. Gave it a few taps with a pry bar and lo and behold - the starter's fastener bolts were loose :) So it worked!

@EasyFixShaun Год назад

No way that is awsome 😃🔧

@camcordernonsense5264 2 года назад

you actually show where to tap. thank you

@EasyFixShaun 2 года назад

Worked on my vehicle.......2006 XC70 CROSS COUNTRY had a problem before and vehicle started with just a jump, but this time my son told me about rapping the starter while I turned on the car and it started right up......what a miracle

@EasyFixShaun 4 месяца назад

Excellent work! You and your son are smart. Get it fixed asap though. It won't last forever. Sometimes the starter will lock up forever in most cases after this trick is used a dozen times. Its meant to limp you home or to a shop so you can replace it immediately. 😃

@foresterlady448 5 лет назад

I’ve done this. It was cold out and I was able to get my car started and thawed out! Off to the shop it went too.

@EasyFixShaun 5 лет назад

*_It is way better than towing isn't it?_*

@foresterlady448 5 лет назад

So much better than towing! I saved $$$ and time. Thanks for the advice.

@xlr8tedzoom 9 месяцев назад

This worked for me when all I needed at the moment was a way to get home. I thought it was the battery and a senior did the same trick for me. He saved my day even if I had to pay for a tow and repairs later.

@EasyFixShaun 9 месяцев назад

Awsome! Im so glad you made it home. Its a neat easy trick in most cases 😀

I remember doing this many years ago. Used an old style bumper jack and whacked the starter a couple of times. Got me going and back to the shop for a replacement.

This works well. Did it both on a Toyota Camry and also a Honda crv: worked twice. Need two people of course. I used a broom stick with Toyota Camry and did it from above and used hammer with Honda from under car. This will also diagnose if it's your starter or something else. It felt good to tell mechanic exactly what was this issue once I got it to shop.

@EasyFixShaun 10 месяцев назад

I am glad that helped out! Yes, if it starts the diagnosis is also complete! 😃🔧

@pterafirma 2 года назад

Just tap or strike it. Don't _smash_ it, because then it will be in several pieces on the pavement.

@EasyFixShaun 2 года назад

If the starter it is bad and won't start it doesn't matter. Plus- It is a last ditch effort to get you home so you can replace it. I have never broken one hitting them hard either. But if it needs replacement-who cares? 😀🔧🔧

@daviddowns7552 10 месяцев назад

i got to try this,, ive heard about it but havent tried it. my car left me stranded last week and i had no way to my doctor appt. if this works im gonna keep car running and then take it to my mechanics. hopefully ill save on another tow bill. $ man it just never stops anymore.

@EasyFixShaun 10 месяцев назад

Works fantastic for me. There has been very few times it hasn't worked on a "dead" starter motor.

@user-jj5ni5sw5b 2 месяца назад

My brother did this on his 2015 Tahoe last year 😂 Again, not something you can do usually even once but can get you out of a jam

@foresterlady448 5 лет назад

On my Subaru the starter was on top and back of the motor. All I had to do was open the hood..

@EasyFixShaun 5 лет назад

Nice Job. Yes- All Subaru's are Super Easy To Do This Trick. I am glad you got it going!

@davidlong2048 Месяц назад

This can also work without the second person on the key, tap starter a few time and try key again

@EasyFixShaun Месяц назад

Great tip! I agree😀

@Zeltroix Месяц назад

I've gotten so many "bonus" starts from my starter, for years now haha.

@EasyFixShaun Месяц назад

Thats awesome! You should put a starter and tools in your car though just in case?

@Zeltroix Месяц назад

@@EasyFixShaun A new starter is already on its way :) I also carry an entire tool kit just in case lol

@EasyFixShaun Месяц назад

Oh thats a great idea. Had me worried. You are more prepared than me 😀

@Bigbully88 9 месяцев назад

So my starter went a few weeks ago, i had to hammer it every time to turn on. the last hammer hit broke a huge whole in the starter seen sparks in there, now my car turns on normal with no hammer😂😂 i guess that hole fixed it or my starter pulling electricity from the atmosphere 😂😂

@EasyFixShaun 8 месяцев назад

😂 I am glad the tricked worked for you! Get a starter before you are stranded though 😃

@SergioLopez-xb4lb 6 месяцев назад

Does someone absolutely need to be trying to start the car while smashing? I was told to disconnect battery and then smash then try to start car, I'm also driving a 2011 SS Camaro

@EasyFixShaun 6 месяцев назад

Either method can work. In my experience it is best to smash while a helper is trying to apply power to the starter to crank. Works best for especially stubborn starters. I have had success doing it alone also 😀

@jeccamendo5935 4 месяца назад

I cant even find the stater lol im so not mechanically inclinedheard its eadier to turn the tires all the way to the left can someone snap a pic of a 2008 F250 super.duty diesel and cirvke where this starter is... please id appreciate it i will google it again also

@EasyFixShaun 4 месяца назад

should be near bottom and back of engine right (passenger side). Might be hard to see because its at the height of the frame rail roughly 😃

@elreydexters1229 Год назад

How I do it if it’s just me🤦‍♂️

@EasyFixShaun Год назад

It will generally still work if you can strike the starter and "jar it loose" and then start it yourself. If it is stubborn, you will sometimes need a helper. Works best with a helper 😃🔧

@robertw7241 4 месяца назад

do you have to take out the starter to tap on it?

@EasyFixShaun 4 месяца назад

No you just need access to it. I like to use a prybar and a hammer. the pry bar just helps transmit the hammer blow to the starter and usually helps a lot with access 😃

@Psp-id7uw 10 месяцев назад

Ford focus starter has armor around it 😵‍💫

@EasyFixShaun 10 месяцев назад

oh no. Is it just a heat shield possibly?

@amberschannel4709 2 года назад

What about if you can get to the starter at all, like it's in between things where no hand can get too, not even a small hand. My Chrysler 200 2012 LX Like I just need to get it started one time, just ☝️

@EasyFixShaun 2 года назад

If you can not access the stater the trick will be impossible to perform. Sometimes i can reach harder to reach starters with a prybar 😀🔧

@amberschannel4709 2 года назад

@@EasyFixShaun I will try! I have a freaking Chrysler 200 2012 LX I think it's on the worst place possible just like how they did the battery if the car. Worst place when you live in Minnesota and live in snow ❄️ smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

@EasyFixShaun 2 года назад

@@amberschannel4709 If you have a 2.4L it is buried on the the back side of the motor just under the large intake plenum. Hard to get to unless intake is removed or done underneath. Get a flash light and you may be able to locate. Sorry it is in a bad spot. If you can access it the trick will usually work 😃🔧

'so if u do get it started.........dont turn it off"

@EasyFixShaun 10 месяцев назад

Very true. It may start again. It also may not 😀🔧

@michelangelokowalski 4 года назад

Why DOES it work..whats going on in the starter that changes

@EasyFixShaun 4 года назад

The electric motor inside the starter usually has a bad connection between the brushes and armature. Usually from wear or corrosion. The jarring from a hammer strike usually will change the connection and improve it to give another start. It's like twisting battery terminals at the battery for a slightly better connection. It's something to do when you need an emergency start. It works most of the time. 😀

@michelangelokowalski 4 года назад

@@EasyFixShaun thank you very much for that answer appreciate it. And yes it worked 3 times so far...off to the auto store

@EasyFixShaun 4 года назад

I am glad it worked for you! Make sure you replace it fast. If I get it to work, I don't push my luck after that. I drive it where it needs to be worked on after the very first start 😀
