This device is designed to jump the solenoid itself, to replicate the action of turning the key, for the sake of convenience when working under the hood to avoid the walking around the car and getting in every time you need to start the engine while working on the vehicle. If the solenoid itself is bad, then you need a new solenoid. This uses 12 gauge cables which are way too small to handle the high current demand of a starting motor. **Q: If I am underneath of a car cutting a catalytic converter, and I decide I just want to take the whole car, will this start the car for me?** A: It will not start the car without the ignition being turned on. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/254740997-w80578-self-powered-timing-light-black](https://www.desertcart.is/products/254740997-w80578-self-powered-timing-light-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
