i think its the seats.. when your ass rubs up on it after a while.. and you open the car door and then touch the pillar to close the door your ass gets zapped... it was funny... now its not anymore lol

Stop forbsing in the car, or, at least take your pants off whilst doing so.

i saw a while aback a key chain that prevents this

you had to touch it to remove teh static from yoursef and then touch it to teh car

. . . or something like that

sicky yuh is damn blight

teh Animal hit me a few zaps teh other day

interesting though, i never got zapped with both teh CS3 and they had leather interior

only teh CK and L200 with fabric interior seems to do it

nah sicky, u taking that? yuh aint aint fine he outa timin?

doh worry guys i jus bought some pc parts so ah could bring some antistatic bags fuh allyuh.

but IMHO i think allyuh having a grounding problem, CANT be static electricity as there isnt a single constant common among all these cars.

venum, haul yuh animal

Venum u lost ur privilege in one day .... I agree with idle.. not just what he said

to/about venum, lol, but i was suppose to throw to to u guys that i was speaking with a

friend and told him about this forum and the shocks i get. he told me he had the

problem but it was grounding and that the viper alarm had some electrical problems

and he got it fixed. No shocking since. what r ur guys thoughts ?

just like that

cuz what one GDI man say :!:

no love lost for you Ms. sickolancergyal, word to teh wise - mind yuh company

idle, i will do for you

I do not believe that it is teh alarm, as my CK2 has none

and I ripped out teh factory alarm from both CS3

teh Animal has teh original alarm installed by DM, 5 years old and working fine

and I get shock from all, mostly teh CK

Mitsu factory grounding is bloody great (unlike Honda - first upgrade to any honda is a grounding kit, you'll be amazed at the performance after)

just ask Rudman - he installed a grounding kit on his Ck2 and found it to be utterly useless as teh effects after install were so minimal to teh grounding before instal)

i think it was like .something ohm difference

and I went an checked all my grounding when i started to get shock, all were good

as they are now and i still getting shock

static electricity ppl

it's yuh clothes Ms. sickolancergyal coupled with the humidity on teh particular day

_

are u suggesting that MS. sickolancergyal drive her car naked on days that are very humid to avoid being shocked??

bcuz i think that is a great idea
VENUM for president :twisted:

I have to agree with the static electricity cuz there was one time I came to work with the car and I was of the habit not close the doors with my hand cuz it was shocking me

when I came to open the office door with the key there was an arc discharge from the key to the door!!!!

not just MS. sickolancergyal, but her gf too MRS. sickolancergyal

scientifically speaking, this method should generate less\no static

as the rubbing of cotton and cotton blends on teh seat fabric is what generates teh charge

i never got shocked when driving barefooted

i think this is because the brake pedal was grounded, so as teh charge built up, it was neutralized when i mashed teh brake pedal (i have metal pedal covers)

i never got shocked because the charge was grounded before it reached a significant voltage to be felt

MS. sickolancergyal, try driving barefooted and touching the metal part of teh brake pedal ever so often
