Re: PLEASE help, starter bad on Xmas away from home???

Try making a small wire 10-12 gage) with a spade conector on one end with a 20 amp fuse in the lin, long enough to reach from the starter to the battery.. Push the spade connector on the starter and touch the other end, striped enough to make contest to the + (positive battery cable). Just touch the striped wire and see if the starter turnes over.

If it does, with the ignition switch turned to "run" doing that will start the car.
if this works, tape the stripped end so it won't short out while you are driving and go home. If you have to kill the engine, you can follow the directions and start it any time!

You seriously have a shot at this working!

Merry Christmas,
Keith
