i just bought a 97 ex coupe civic, and for the past few days when i get out of my car my door shocks me, could this be electrical issues? help!!

 

your car must not like you anymore ha

 

lol

 

It's probably normal static electricity.

 

You're joking with this thread right?

 

If you get a grounding strap (that touches the ground) and install tinfoil between your seat and seat cover. Make sure the foil on the seat bottom and Seat back don't touch!!! Then run a wire from the frame(neg) to the seat bottom and a wire from the seat back to the #1 or #2 sparkplug wire. Make sure your seatbelt is on and seat is so far back you can't reach the ignition. Have a friend start the car for you.

This will fix it.

 

thanks MPG

 

nahh man i think some power wires are touching or something

 

its called static electricity man, its YOU that carries the electric charge, if you walk around alot in socks and dont touch metal objects often, you build up a charge

 

I feel your pain. My 99 EK shocks the crap out of me and it's passengers sometimes. I think of it as Honda shock therapy. It's something about the seat fabric, the dryness of the air, and an EK Civic that makes for a good conductive energetic cocktail

It is funny, but it also sucks. Especially when it shocks the women... "Cool car! Ouch!!"

 

Really? Really? So every single time you touch the door you get shocked? If it's an electrical current it would go to suppose that it would be constant and you should receive a jolt every time you made physical contact with the door.

If it's just a momentary shock then it's static electricity. C'mon with this.

On a serious note...

here is a strap on ebay for $8 shipped... I wonder if it works... a lot of canadians have them on thier cars...

I have read they do everything from, helping with car sickness, to static shock, and reduce radio, phone static too...

you should get it, test it and report back...

 

my car does this to, i believe its normal.

 

My car shocks the crap out of me too sometimes. Only when it's cold out though.

 

LOL.. sound like a electrical shock chair

 

My car does that everytime, now while i get off the seat, I make sure i am touching the car metal/ground, and no more shocks.

 

I bought a DIY alarm once that electrified the skin of the vehicle to 100K volts. No damage to vehicle or electronics, but if you touched the vehicle it literally shocked the **** out of you!!! My sig other made me remove it, I guess she was afraid some old fart would touch it and go into cardiac arrest...

 

thanks guys for the help

 

I think that It will go away if you touch the door with one hand and with the other hand, put a 9 volt battery up to your tongue.
