Default Got ripped off by mobile mechanic

[HR][/HR]So like the title says. The man hot-wired my car, since I had ignition problems, so I could drive it off the lot it broke at and get it to my house. Well, after a month of trying to get this guy to change my ignition, he finally did, but forgot to redo what he did to my car.

The way he hot wired it was, he took a wire, and connected it to the starter, so all I had to do was power the car on, and then connect the wire to my battery terminal.

I have no clue as to how to fix this, and I searched all over the web, and can't find any solutions.

Please, let me know if you need more details. I will also post up pictures too.

Thanks!

I might be willing to look at it. What city are you in?

If your car is now working properly, totally remove the wire that you would
connect to the positive terminal.
