My 90 Vanagon automatic is dead in the cold of the Chicago winter.  Won't
crank at all.  I am pretty sure it is the starter relay/solenoid problem.
Won't even go with a jump.

Is there a way to manually make the starter go?  I know it is way up under,
but could I cross the terminals with a screw driver or something
successfully, or is a tow to a warmer climate my only real option?

Thanks in advance
