Electric Shock?!

Post by joe2612 »

Any ideas on what could causing me to get an electric shock everytime i close my door after driving?, definitely not my clothes or shoes etc... pretty big shock too! completely blown ( no punn intended :wink: ) i was thinking could be an earthing problem with my amp or headunit? or maybe not....

thanks guys, bit of a weird one here!

Does it feel more of a brief static type shock?

I get that when I wear my leather jacket in the car... Or other random clothing combinations.... Close the door by pushing on the window glass and you dont get a shock :p

I used to get a static shock off my old GTi pretty much everytime I got out of it.

Haven't encountered it at all with the S3 though.
