NOTE: Also make sure to check battery cables and wires for lose
connections. Make sure the battery has a good connection to the starter.
If none of this works then you may have to replace the starter ;(

YOU ARE THE MAN!!! I just got off work, worked late, made a couple of stops, now its 12 am, super tired, stopped at a gas station now truck wont start. Watched your video and now i get to go home..

This video was seriously our life line just moments ago we broke down in the middle of no where with a special needs kid in tow. Triple AAA was not getting back to us and we had no idea when they’d arrive. But you seriously saved us! You are heaven sent! Thank you and blessings to you!

You can tell this guy has mastered the art of trial-and-error I love it I love every bit of it hes the man

[fjtighe]

Just wanted to say thank you. Son who is 500 miles away at college was stranded. He has a 2008 F150. Sent him your video and he made it back to campus and to a mechanic to replace his starter. Great video. Thank so much.

Finally! I finally find a realistic tip on how to, do it YOURSELF auto lesson, WITHOUT all of these mechanics pulling out all of their professional tools, that most of us, auto do it yourselfers probably won't have. Then you have to find a ride to the auto parts store, for a loaner, only to find out that they don't have it. Thank You, Nathan Rohrbough, for your easy, very clearly explained starter, no crank tip. I have a 09 Chrysler T&C, 3.8l. Since I noticed bad worn out motor mounts, I hope, worse case, motor not locked. I had to buy brand new tires last week, since we have grandkids, safety first. Since my lay-off,  I can only afford 1 repair, every 2 months. Anyway, I'll try jumping solenoid first, battery reading 12.5V on my multi meter. Thanks again, Frank

This is good to know. I need a new Starter but can't afford a tow truck. Thank you for this video!

[zeekbrickett]

Thank you ever so much. Why are strangers on YouTube kind and helpful than people that live in your own neighborhood?! I live in Cheyenne Wyoming by the way.

[wtc]

Lmao. You jumped back quick when checking the solenoid and the starter clicked!! Scared my ass too. 😂

[brandonmunsin]

lol it really works, went out for errands came back to my car, car had power but starter wouldn’t turn over. i carry a small battery jumper. tried that no luck.
checked fuses, all fine.
had no tools. so i picked up a stick an tapped on the solenoid. car started right up. man was i happy. an the replacement was super easy in my case.

[tke]

Man, you just saved my butt with that secondary solenoid trick. Got me back on the road again after the started unexpectedly died.

[AllOfMyLOVEU]

I watched a few videos but I was attempting to do this alone & everyone explained it w another person in which I didn’t have so thankfully I found your video & it is very informative you touched on everything I should know & im very appreciative! Thank You for such a great & useful video!! Fingers crossed I get it started! Thank You!

Shorted out the starter solenoid and got my 2020 Ram 2500 started when we were stranded at the campground. Thank you

[kellywood]

I've never commented on a YouTube video before but I did the trick of banging on the starter and a got my work truck . Thanks

[joepublic]

This video comes up while I'm stranded with a starting problem. WTF. I bang the starter. Nope. But, the starter solenoid head is loose. I move it to a snug position. Wah-la. Thanks brother.👍

[aristotleintila]

You Sir, are a legend. I couldn't find any more direct and no nonsense video but yours. I have just solved my no crank, no start Hyundai accent 2009. Thank you and more power!

[serene]

Sir, thanks to you we finally got our diesel pusher motorhome up and running. We were boondocking at a remote location and no tow truck was willing to come out. The one that was willing to come out would take several days. We found you after 3 days of trying what we could and pulling out our hair cuz nothing else worked.

Your hack with the screwdriver saved us a lot of money & time. Thank you!

[CSSquallM]

I wanted to leave a comment saying my starter was all gravy but my starter battery cable was bad and I got stuck a gas station if u didn't post this video I wouldn't of ever figured out how to jump the starter to get my start running. Thank you thank you thank you. This was the most informative video Ive seen that wasn't a ChrisFix video.

[christabyrd]

I was trying to do this yesterday on my truck I know starts every time once it doesn’t start by doing this and my friend I was with totally gave up on me and wouldn’t believe me this works and I needed him to only turn the key and he wouldn’t even help me! Time to attempt it again with a better more useful friend! It starts every time after tapping! Best hack ever!

[eddiekeeler]

Good basic info on how to troubleshoot and how to get it running. Old tricks still work. My Dad taught me these tricks 40 years ago. I'm so happy that in todays day and age that we have You Tube where there is a wealth of knowledge being shared. Thank you for sharing and helping people.
