Decided to double dip my just the tip for you all today because this information may help someone in a bind. I know it’s helped me.
The article above explains how to use a screwdriver to engage your starter when you’re in a bind and can get you home, or to a shop, or parts house where you need to be asap!
You can also use this method to test your starter and see if it’s bad, the video below is showing you what the above linked article is telling you but the starter is on the ground. It’s definitely not the best video but best I could find in the rush I’m in today and will give you a better picture of what’s going on I hope!

Have a good day y’all, and as always, Kudos!
Oh, one more thing, if any of this is unclear please feel free to ask! Admittedly I made this in a rush and only had time for a quick glance at the content. Sorry!
You can add me to the “ran over themselves with their own vehicle” club, but, in my defense, I was just a little kid. Maybe not technically able to be in the club because it was my parent’s car, not mine, but I still claim it.
That absolutely counts! After all, if a billionaire gets all their money when young, they are still a billionaire.
You know, I said until recently Ron was the only person I knew. Well, about 3 weeks ago my partner came home and told me they’d been in a minor wreck. Essentially they got in the car, and started it. Put it in reverse and realized they couldn’t find their phone. So, naturally they jumped out, and the open door knocked them down, and the front tire ran over their leg.
Similar to me. This was back in the early 70s, which is an important detail.
I was 5, dad just got home from work. While he and mom were getting ready to have dinner, I snuck out and was play driving in the car. Back then you could shift the car out of park without the keys, and I did. It started rolling down the driveway. Scared, I tried to bail, but got tripped up and fell on the ground with the wheel headed right for me.
Somehow, I was able to only get run over across my leg. I still have a piece of gravel in my knee.
