ouch electric shocks

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

i need to know what i can do to stop this happening.

 

everytime i get out of my cortina and then touch it i get a static shock

 

doesnt matter if its been running or just sat stationary turned off, once ive got in it and back out i get a shock soon as i touch it

You need one of those anti static strip thingys that dangle at the back of your car

I get them all the time aswell, right pain

 

I have to shut the door with me foot now

it might be the type of shoes you're wearing are building up a static charge in you from rubbing against the carpet. Try putting a rubber mat down in the drivers footwell and see if that makes a difference.

Use to get this from my Cougar . I ended up touching the drivers window to discharge the voltage ! Did it by closing the door via the door glass . I know glass dont conduct electric but it seemed to work

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

[Savvi]

Yes

 

 

 

I used to get them a lot and when your in & out of cars all day it starts to get annoying, then it happened when i was at someone's house and they suggested changing ............. i laughed until i got home and told my missus, then she tried it without telling me and asked a few weeks later if i was still getting shocks ............. i wasn't

[Savvi]

Put up a post asking who gets shocks and what washing powder do they use

This works for me, open door, hold door frame put foot on ground, discharges the static, worth a try!
