How to start car without pressing Clutch?
2004 Ford Ranger. I lost the use of the fingers on my right hand. Could someone tell me how to start truck with only the left hand. Ignition on right side of steering column. I put it in neutral with parking brake on. I turn the key from the left side, but can't press the clutch down. Is there a way to start this truck from passenger side with left hand without pressing clutch and then walk around to drivers side, get in and drive.
Get a local garage to bypass the safety switch on the clutch pedal and fit a start button.
DO NOT go to a Ford dealer as they won't do it.
Once the start button is fitted you will still need to turn the ignition on.
However, you can if you want completely bypass the key ignition system and fit a series of 2 or 3 switches to run the ignition system.
You will need te key in the ignition to bypass your imobiliser however.
Can have the clutch safety switch bypassed. Why can't you turn ignition on w/ left hand? Reach around the wheel? If you get a hood prop or the right length stick, you could wedge the clutch pedal down against the seat rail, but seems like a lot of wasted effort.
Thanks for both answers. Seems I can get safety switch bypassed for about $40. Starter button they would not do. I'll click on first answer. Appreciate you taking the time to help.

- If Graham is so upset about people making charges without evidence then why is he accusing Ford of lying without any evidence and the DNC? "putting her up to it" with no evidence for that claim either? Privately? Why? These are public hearings and a lifelong appointment. If somebody's going to speak up they'd better do it now.
