I keep getting shocked by my car door! :(?

if this happens only in the winter not the summer it's probably

static electricity.

Wear a thimble on your finger, or carry a coin, and use them to touch grounded metal objects as often as possible. This will not eliminate the static discharge, but will stop the pain you feel in your fingertips

it's is often not the actual shock that hurts you but the surprise that comes with it,

if you make a habit of touching a metal part of the door with your hand or finger being prepared for it may help lessen the "shock"

wear more cotton etc, - switch to natural fibers, since synthetics pick up more of a static charge.

Wear cotton clothing and carry the static guard cloth from a dryer. The shock you get is one from your own body moving in the car seat. Vinyl seats rather than leather are part of the problem. If you will use a water mist on your hair, it should lessen the static build up.

Hi me:

The question here is,,,,is the electrical charge static or direct current.

If it happens elsewhere then you have static electricity build up from your clothes. but if not it is coming from your car battery.

Not only will this annoy you, it also lets your charge slowly leak out of the battery, Have your wiring checked for a short (broken wire casing).

Auto parts stores used to sell grounding strips that attached to a metal bumper and just barely touched the ground (to elevate unwanted static charge. I don't know if they are still used with today's plastic bumpers. '

Hope this helps.

Rub a dryer sheet over your car seat it will stop the static electric shock you are getting.

you contain static electricity. keep a few fabric softeners in your pocket and touch/grab/open the door with one of them.

I could give you a long explanation of the reasons,etc. But I'm not going to.

this happens to me to, lol

i have car seat covers that kind of slide around a little bit when i drive, so it builds up static electricity.

Hold a comb in your hand, and touch the door with it first.

the battery may be shorting on the bonnet and may be sending the electric around the bodywork
