Question:
EVERY time we get out of it we get shocked. I have tried running searches about this, but as you can imagine I only get results about "shocks". Anybody have any idea why this is happening & what we can do about it?? It has gotten to the point that my husband has made a game of trying to get out of it without getting shocked. This can not be normal. Not his behavior, the shocking. THANKS! :-)

They are difficult to find at times but with a little effort you could make your own. When the air is dry static builds up, it comes from your car moving through the air and your tires rolling on the road.
Good luck
What fails in a MAF for my 89 LeSabre? Do the little temperature wires burn out, like a lightbulb?
usually happens every winter in my vehicles, I don't know why.Is there a bolt on air bag kit for the 87 Silverados? And what is the best kit for this model?
I'm guessing that the cloth-covered seats are illfitting against your bodies, causing an intense amount of electricity to be built up in your bodies. Once you move you dislodge a shock.Can anyone recommend a cost-efficient way to heat a frozen engine?
In winter time the air is very dry, creating static electricity. I am in the habit of touching the door with the back of my hand to dissipate it.There is a grounding strap you can attach to the bottom of the vehicle which touches the ground and dissipates the static electric charge or you can let the passenger become grounded first and you won't get zapped. (sinister laugh here)
Here is a site where they are selling one. There are many available, probably at your nearest auto parts store.

I'm pretty sure that it's not electric shock but static. Probably has to do with very dry air and the carpet
Is it possible to build your own uninterruptible power supply?
you know what?i have a 88 olds and it does the same thing.whenever my girlfriend or i get out of it we get shocked.someone said it could be sliding around over the seat does it,causing friction.i dont know,but its annoying.If you have cloth seat covers (with polyester) and the air is dry in your area plus maybe you are wearing nylon or a similar material you're probably generating the static yourself. Trying grounding before you get out and stay grounded as you get out then let go. You'll probably be able to touch the vehicle without a shock. Try buying a stock static strap and attach that to the banjo housing of your rear axle, If you're getting a shock no matter what you have a problem which could be something more serious. Then you might want to get it checked out.

Just tell your husband to stop playing games lol and to run a simple 1 foot wire from the negative=black part of the battery to the car chasis and there its easy as that!Try attaching a ground strap. They usually sell them in any auto parts store, they fasten underneath at the back and just touch the ground, this should dissipate the static build up. They are also supposed to help with motion sickness during travel.

depending on the van you purchased as told by my instructor in school he stated that when you get shocks from your vehicle is most likely because you have a bad ground to your fuel tank and or fuel pump and that would be the most probable cause for a shockit has something to do with electrical wirings.

Static electricity! Next time you get out of the car take the key and hold it to the body of th car before you close the door. This will ground the the static electricity from your body to the metal of the car.More Questions & Answers ...
