Unorthodox repair techniques
Well everyone, post up your most, how should I put it, bizzare fix-a-something methods.
I fixed my fuel gauge just by whacking the gauge cluster against the bathroom door...

Well, the one I hear most often (but try to refrain from using) goes something like this: "If it's broke, hit it with a hammer. If that don't fix it, try a bigger hammer. If it's still broke, you're too weak."
AC compressor locked up and was causing the belt to melt. Used a can of compressed air, turned it upside down and sprayed the 02 out. Got me an extra three miles to a shop.............in east LA, YIKES! Your gauge cluster story beats mine though.

Well I was "fixing" my starter for three weeks like this before it finally died for good...it was dead, but after a whack or two it started like new...
In my old 240sx, sometimes my front light would go out. It would only come back on if you karate chopped the hood above it. it wouldnt work if you tapped, puched, or slapped it! you had to karate chop it.
One time my ignition was stuck, dont know why just would not turn at all. my steering was stuck to so after beating the crap out of my steering wheel, and shifting fast, I poped the hood and unpluged the power steering sensor went to go turn the ignition and walla, then went to connect it back. I dont know why it did that and how unpluging that fixed it. but beating the crap out of my steering wheel did not work.
