walkerjason+FollowJump-Starting? Don’t Just Sit There!Jumped your dead car battery and thinking you can just chill in park? Not so fast! Modern alternators are busy powering all your car’s gadgets, so idling barely charges your battery. You actually need to hit the road—highway speeds for at least 30 minutes (longer is better) to give your battery a fighting chance. Full charge? That could take hours. Or, skip the drive and use a battery charger overnight. Wild, right? #CarHacks #BatteryTips #LifeProTip #Cars170Share
Michael Wilson+FollowDead Key Fob? Your Car’s Got a Secret!Ever had your keyless car fob die and panicked you’d be stranded? Turns out, most cars have a sneaky backup! Some fobs hide a physical key for the door, but if you’ve got push-button start, just place the dead fob in a special spot (check your manual!) and the car will still start. The car uses induction coils to zap just enough power into your fob to get you going. Wild, right? Modern cars are basically wizards. #CarHacks #LifeProTip #CarTech #Cars9424Share
