Is it normal to get an electrical shock EVERYTIME you get out of a civic? I'm asking because my bro's 2000 ex gives me an annoying shock everytime I get out of the car. I've never been shocked in my leather interior BMW E30..... Is it the static prone CLOTH SEATS? Someone please tell me how I can eliminate this annoyance. Thanks.

Close the door by pushing the windows instead of the door. This might look stupid everytime but you can touch the headlight and for some reason, even when its not metal, it grounds the shock.
I get schoked sometimes while going inside the car.
Next time you get into your car, hold your key on the metal part and touch the keyhole on the car. That also discharges it. It was always like that for me for a long time

But that's how I get shocked...I accidentally touch something metallic on my way out, edge of door, door latch, whatever. Is there anyway I can ground the seats so that I won't charge up?xivera said:
I have the same problem....but it only seems to be when I'm down here at school and during the milder/winter weather.
my girl gets it all the time, cloth seats would cause it, the funny part is, one day we went out to eat, we got out and kissed, our noses sparked, god damn it hurt, everyone was looking thinking we bumped our heads. it was hillarious.
That means I'll have to make it a habit whenever I drive/ride in that car. Should I hook up a ground wire to the door handles[civic] said:
? I might NEVER get shocked again! I'll try that and let you know if it works.thats the most annoying thing ever, why does my car shock me? Maybe she's upset with me...I've been treating her well though. Sometime it SHOCKS THE HELL out of me, I though I lost a finger onetime it was crazy
