Josh from JP Auto & Fleet Services is going to teach you how to start a car without a key. Now, let’s be clear, this is not to be used for nefarious purposes and stealing cars.
This technique is to be used when you are stuck and in a bit of trouble as you will see in this video. It is also used for diagnostic purposes such as those shown in the video as well.
Let’s get down to business. I received a call from a customer of mine, his engine light started blinking on his car, flashing going crazy while has was on the highway. Luckily, he was able to get off the highway because his car died.
He actually had to get off the highway and got to a store that was close by to me so I went to help him out. The Kia van wouldn’t crank over but I was able to get it started and back to my shop.
The battery in the van was completely dead and the starter wouldn’t crank at all. I’m going to share with you exactly how I was able to get the van started and over to my shop in Lake Dallas, TX.
Diagnosing the inside the car first, the lights are showing on the dashboard with the keys in the ignition but no “click-click” when turning the key. Now, I’m going to look under the hood.
I knew the battery was toast so I had brought a new battery to the store where he pulled over and installed that prior to getting it started. I needed good voltage to be able to do all the diagnostic testing.
I took my power probe, which can send power and ground to any accessory, and tested the battery I installed. It tested at 12.3 volts and that is enough battery voltage to crank this vehicle over.
The van should have been at least turning over and cranking if not starting so I went to the next stage. Before I get into the starter, I’m going to start with the starter reply.
One way to check the starter without getting into it fully is to send voltage down to it with the power probe. By sending voltage directly to the starter via the starter reply it cranked right up and started.
What this tells us is we don’t have a bad starter. The next stage was to test the alternator. Using the power probe again, the alternator was at 12.1 volts which is below what is needed to start a vehicle. The acceptable range for an alternator is 13.3 - 14.8 volts.
This brings us now to one of two things, we either have a bad alternator or an electrical issue somewhere that is not allowing the battery to charge properly. My bet on this is that we have an electrical issue.
Several indications show me that this is a rust bucket vehicle. I came across a break in the wire on the fuel injector. I also came across several places with open copper wire and this can result in short circuits.
Important note: this video is for diagnostic purposes only, we are not trying to steal cars here. However, a lot of times, this particular technique showing how to start a car without a key or how to hotwire a car is needed to rule out a bad starter, a faulty ignition, or troubleshoot an alternator battery charging issue.

This really works. Again, not for stealing but great when you have a crazy person take your keys thinking they own you.
Thanks, thanks... Have a Great day, be Happy and Safe. Love one-another....
Good point!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
This is really cool. I lost my car keys and missed a very important event. Still looking for my keys so it’s really nice to know that I can drive my car. I wish I had thought of this before that event. Thank you so much for this video!
Yes this will activate the starter, but without the key on, the fuel pump or ignition system won’t be on either.
Damn son!!! You reckon that little tool makes you like, certifiably genius?
Golly man, that gave me a feelin like, as if, if I speak it? So it shall be, or some shit… could get used to that… listen to this shit, I’m stranded here at a 711 in okc. I went in, laid my keys down? Walked away for a sec? And one of the employees stole my keys😭🤷♂️why? No good. Why? I don’t understand some people. Now I’m forced to hoy wire my daughters 2008 Chevy cobalt… help me out bro, please!!!
On the starter relay 87 doesn't close 30 power is sent through 85 and 86 which energizes a coil that magnetically pulls 87 and 30 switch closed which allows power to go to the starter I'll explain ... 87 is constant power key on engine off and when you turn the ignition switch to start it sends power to 85 through 86 that energizes a coil that magnetically closes the switch between 87 and 30 then power is sent to the starter a relay is a switch that controls a bigger switch
Just to clarify I'm Adam Jackson ASE certified technician on my wife's account just realized that LOL
So which ones you need to jump together
Man I don't know what but, I like this guy. His facial expressions and eye gestures show some type concentration I can't explain.

Question, i have a 2004 f250 5.4l, i replaced the ign switch, and o burned out relay... What else could i be looking at?
Not everyone got a probe tool, so if you dont have, you can just jump connect pin 30 and 87, with ign on , just for the info
It's me adam again you could take the plastic cover off the relay and manually work the switch inside the relay
Hey crazy eyes how you been man. I haven't seen you since we were locked up
"You had to let him know you're not stealing the car cuz he knows me." 😂
Have a really stupid question I am new into this scanner world. Is there a scanner that will start cars? Or try to crank it over / mimic the key. So I can see if it's worth getting a key made for the car?
I have a power probe hook
I use the powering the starter, but some times I can't use this technique. With out mimicking the key. Didn't know if there is a scanner out there that is able to start a car with out the key or mimics the key
Love the video just liked And subscribed. Somebody tried stealing my 06 ford freestar van and destroyed the immobilizer module and ignition plus the alarm wont shut up now. Is there anyway to disconnect the pats system I dont want to fix it because every time i loose the key it costs me $200.00 bucks. I lost the hand held last year so the alarm is worthless to me, i spoke with 4 guys at the ford dealership, they referred me to another guy from their collision center, he referred me to car toys. The closet thing that I've seen to a solution is if i get a bypass module. Can i use that trick with the relay pins to start it and does it have to be a certain tool or will anything work? Sorry to ramble on and bombard you with questions. This is my work van and I'm loosing a lot of money not be able to use it. Thanks any suggestions from you or anyone else would be greatly appreciated.
This video is supposed to show how to start a vehicle without keys. So to that issue it sucks
I loved it learn something new everyday
Glad you got some nuggets bud 👍
I recently lost my key (pontiac g6 gxp 2009) in a house fire and i was wondering if there was any information that you could tell me that would be useful?
My computer car reads service, even though I did the service but the computer won't reset, so therefore wouldn't start, so I got hot wire it, to make it work again. Great video.
Anyone know what tool he used to send the voltage down the line?
That's a "Power Probe" there are various versions. You press a button and it will supply 12v from the battery directly to the location to bypass wiring that might be bad. Try amazon or harbor freight tools.
How did the car started without fuel pump working??
The key must be turned to On position to activate fuel pump.
Please someone explain thanks
The key was in the vehicle turned to the on position. This was more of a demonstration on how to check a starter and starting system electrical circuit.
What about the steering lock
How did you unlock steering wheel

How do u turn it off after
I lost my 2016 Sierra truck keys recently. Any tips on how to crank it without damaging anything in the steering/ignition area. Please and thanks 🙏
I am having this same issue. What ended up being the culprit on this particular vehicle. Just looking for some more ideas
A bad engine control module and corroded wiring. A bad combination that took a lot of diagnostic time
@@JPAutoFleet got my car to start up and run after getting one of the ECUs flashed.
What happens if I don't turn my ignition and go straight to relay to connect pins?.. Will it turn over and fire up engine?
If it's an older vehicle possibly but most newer vehicles need the ignition voltage to start

Hey Josh I've lost both my keys on my 2003 Ford ranger and I'm sitting here with like 60 bucks and locksmith wants 150. I was suppose to be moved 3 days ago and here I sit is there anything I can do to bypass the anti theft on my own vehicle and get past this Ford pats system so I can get the hell out of this spot I'm stranded in?
No sory brother
Damn man. I'm in the same situation. Best I've been Ble to find is remove the ignition switch and use a screwdriver

You mean to pin 30 with 87 or 30 with anyone if we are using a wire?
Correct
@@JPAutoFleet
What correct 30 with 87 or 30 with anyone or both way are correct?
Thank you!

You DID steal that car. There is no reason the customer wouldn't give you the key.
If you paid attention to the video youd realize the key/ignition was faulty & not working. No crank/no start smart guy 👍. Only way I could start it was with the method I show in video. Atleast until I repaired the fault. Thanks for the view though! Hope you subscribed 😉
That was great info brother thank you
Glad it helped bro👍
Great video
Thanks man!
You should consider subscribing!
@@JPAutoFleet I did
I lost my key and my keypad to my 2004 Ford expedition how do I get my vehicle off of anti-theft mode using a screwdriver
I have 2 queastions.
1) If you are able to start it without a key, how would you shut it off?
2) When at a junkyard is there a way to spin the motor over without a key? I would like to know if it makes any noise while spinning over before I buy it.
I will have a jump box with me.
This more a technique to test cranking ability/starter condition and not to get the car running. But it will get it started on many cars. Mostly older vehicles prior to 2002. With newer vehicles often the anti theft and pass lock systems will prevent it from actually running. To answer your junkyard question it depends if the engine is still wired to the vehicle. If it is then do the technique in the video. If not, send 12 volts to the starter via your jump pack. This should atleast get the engine to turn over. Which is ultimately what you want to verify (the engine not being locked up). Hope this helps
@@JPAutoFleet no it didn't, how do you turn if off? Need answers, not a history rundown.

@@stephendees291 if you have the key, just turn it off like normal, if not, just take off the main relay for example,

great explanation!
I just thought I'd show some love by saying thanks for sharing the knowledge that u have gained ! Not only this, but also the quality of the video 👌 .. yes the image came in clearly but thats not the quality that I'm pointing out. I'd say that ur ability to keep what u where teaching sweet and simple.. the cameras eye showed me exactly what I needed to see and it matched up with the choice of words that u used to explain each step to fallow to complete a task was well spoken.. vocabulary kept my attention because u where nit changing topics and u didnt start telling me ur whole life story .. i mean ive watched videos that are so dragged out that i have not much desire to finish watching the video. And i think its because u have a quality and strength to be a teacher! All im saying is im thanking Ģªhəđ right now and I appreciate u ! Thank u very much! Now imma probably going to watch every single video that u have put on Here!
I haven't looked yet! But hey Josh what would be the best material and what would be the best solution for cleaning inner the hood and the underside of an eclipse mitsubishi!?!? And are u able to look at a car and see if part under the hood are not it's original parts?! 🤔
Thank you for the kind words! Yes I do virtual auto appointments via zoom. If you'd like to set one up DM me via Instagram @jpautofleet.
