I live in the midwest. Every year when the weather starts to get colder and dryer I get a huge shock on my hand every time I get out of my jeep when I touch the door. Anyone know the problem or fix?

 

It's static electricity. What kind of shoes do you wear? Same thing happens here in Texas, and I'm sure everywhere else as well. Switch to solid rubber soled shoes or boots, and this should go away. I notice when I'm wearing my running shoes it happens, but when I got my boots on, no problem.

 

got that like 4 times the other day. in michigan. had running shoes on. need to start wearing my boots as well.

 

mix a tablespoon of fabric softener with water in a spray bottle. Spray all the fabric inside the jeep. May have to do it a couple 3 times a week for a couple weeks but it will usually take the static out and keep it gone for a long time.

 

what a freaking smart idea

 

You have fuzzy seats?

 

I got leather seats, and I still get it. Also get it when just walking up to the rig in the morning (no carpet in my house either). Dry air....static everywhere.

 

I get from my dogs, when their in the back. Moving around. And it's really bad in my wifes car. With cloth interior.

 

used febreeze

 

i need to do the febreeze today.

 

put a drag chain on your jeep.....or just live with it. You think thats bad....try getting out of a saturn without getting a bite...darn plastic body panels.

 

Happened to me for the first time today, thats got to be anoying everytime. Hope the fabric thing helps you out.

 

ill have to try that febreze trick, mine is pretty bad, it was last winter but i kinda got used to it so it ended up bring managable

 

If i had that much static electricity goin id be affraid to pump gas.. seriously.. lol I cant say ive ever been shocked like that gettin' in a vehicle, now every now and then maybe when touching the frig door or turning on a light switch.

 

this is weird cause i live in one of the dryest areas in the us and i have never had this problem.....
