A tool can be attached to a vehicle key in the ignition switch of a vehicle and the operator can turn on the key, crank the engine, bump start, or turn off the engine. These operations can be performed while the operator is under the hood, for example, by operating a cable pull and release unit. The tool can be used to turn the ignition switch on to perform various diagnostic and vehicle lighting tests. The tool includes a hand held control unit that moves a cable within a housing when the handles of the control unit are squeezed from an initial position, toward each other. The cable causes a key turner to turn. A spring-loaded return mechanism causes the key turner to turn the key in reverse (in an off position) when the handles of the hand held control unit are moved back to the initial position. |
