hey guys is it normal for my car to shock me sometimes when i close the door as i leave?
i have noticed that my alarm sometimes won't lock the door and i have to lock it manually, even though the alarm is set. I was replacing my stock speakers today and wearing very thin shoes and socks and as i reached over to turn on my headunit it sort of shocked me a little too. Is anything wrong?

 

that my friend is called static electricity perfectly normal

 

okay, sounds good, i just thought since my alarm was acting up it might be a leakage in the wiring system and most of my sound system was spliced and taped together...

 

is there a chance that there is a loose wire or something thats causing this?

 

im pretty sure not because if you touch both of the battery terminals on your car battery do you get shocked no, but maybe one of these guys would know better

 

i dont wanna touch my battery and find out the hard way.. lol

 

I have same dealio. It never shocked me before my system, and it happens all the time now whether its rain snow or dry. But if I step out of my car, and when feet on the ground, touch my seat or the plastic part of the door, then close my door, i dont get shocked. It's just static discharges, nothing bad, but i dont know how to stop it. But i do this, and i dont have to worry about it now.

 

i have to close my door with my elbow now. its not very appealing for the ladies

 

push on the glass

 

but then you smudge the windows.
