- The correct way to Hot Wire A Car. (*) Writen by Mopar One
-
- Be sure to call all the P.H.N. systems for all your infomation needs.
-
- This file is was writen for the intent on teaching and not the actual use
- of how to hot wire a car. The Author of this file takes no responsiblty in
- any actions of anyone that uses this information.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- There are basicly two types of cars in use today. The first one is the
- older types of cars (pre 1968. I think) That have the ignition switch built
- into
- the dash board. These cars can be hot wired in a number of ways depending on
- just how much you know about wiring. The fastest way is to run a wire from
- the
- positive pole on the battery to the positive side to the coil. The battery
- and
- the coil will be marked with a + sign. After connecting the wire you will
- need
- to jump the starter. On all Chrysler and GM cars, This is done from under the
- car. There will be one thick wire and two thin wires. Just use a screw driver
- and connect the big bolt holding the thich wire to the thin wire closes to the
- moter. Once these two touch, The starter will turn over and start the car.
-
- On a Ford type car (and truck) there will be a Starter relay on the fender
- very close to the battery. Just follow the Positive cable till you see a
- round
- cylinder connected to it. Use the bare metal handles on a pair of pliers to
- connect the battery wire to the Small wire on the relay. Again, Once these
- connect, The moter will turn over.
-
- Be sure to hook your wire to the battery first. Any sparks near the battery
- may cause the fumes comming from the battery to ignite.
-
- BATTERIES WILL EXPLODE!!!!!
-
- The under the dash board hot wire is in some ways harder but its better then
- being seen under the hood of someones car. There are 5 wires going into the
- ignition. The only one that remains the same color on all cars is the red one.
- This is the main hot wire for the whole ignition. The fastest way to know
- what
- is what is to remember that all the wires but one can be connected at one
- time.
- The first thing you want to find is the starter wire. cut and strip all the
- wires. The one at a time touch them to the red wire. When the starter turns
- over
- you have found it. Now connect all the other wires to the red one. This will
- turn on the ignition and all excesories. Then all you need to do it touch the
- starter wire to this mess of wires just long enough to start the car.
- To stop the engine, Just disconnect all the wires.
-
- The newer type of cars have the ignition switch built into the steering
- column. This was done as an antitheft deterent. All they realy did was make
- it easier to steel.
-
- With the ignition switch built into the steering column, The easiest and
- fastest was is to get (or build) what is known as a body puller. This nice
- tool
- is used in the body shops and can be bought in a parts store for about $15.00.
-
- It was made to pull dents out of a car body with the help of a few holes
- drilled in it and pulling the dents out.
-
- The body puller is made of three parts. A pipe with a handle on one and
- (also used as a stop). one sheet metal screw (Normaly welded to the pipe).
- And a weight. The weight is used to slide up and down the pipe to apply a
- pulling action.
-
- All you need to do it screw the sheet metal screw into the ignition lock and
- slide the weight away fron the ignition to the handle. When the weight is
- suddenly stoped by the handle, The force will cause the sheet metal screw to
- remove the ignition lock from the steering column. (it may take 2 or 3 good
- hard blows to remove the lock)
-
- Once the lock is removed, Insert a regular screw driver into the the housing
- where the lock was. You will see a slot (almost like a screw). Once the screw
- driver is in, Just turn the screw driver clock wise and the starter will turn.
- If you wish to stop the moter, Just do the same but turn the screw driver
- counter clock wise. Its all just like using the key except we have removed
- the
- one item that only allows certin people to start it.
-
- In the next chapter, (maybe) We will get into making a body puller.
