There are few things more frustrating than missing an important meeting or appointment because your car refuses to start.
If you have a set of jumper cables you are closer to being able to fix the problem, but you still have to rely on someone else being available to help you. What are you supposed to do if there is no one else is around?
If your vehicle is a manual, YouTuber Shake the Future has a simple but effective solution for you.
All you need are your muscles, a jack, and some rope. Start by using the jack to raise one of your car’s front tires. Once you have done that, you will need to make sure the parking brake is engaged and that your vehicle is in third gear.
Next, be sure that your key is in the ignition in the “on” position. Now it is time to grab that rope. Wrap it around the front tire that you have raised with the jack, and then pull as hard as you can.
If you have enough power behind your pulling, then your car should start right up! Who knew it could be this easy? You may want to start keeping some rope in your trunk along with your other tools just in case you are ever in this position.
If you are more of a visual learner or would just like to see how exactly this trick works, you can watch the entire process in the video below.
