Car Forum / Toyota / Camry / March 20062004 shock problem
Whenever I get out of my '04 Camry I get a shock when my fingers touch the outside of the door. It's gotten to the point that I close the door with the side of my hand because it's not as annoying. Is this common with this vehicle? It's common with many makes with synthetic fibers seats to varying degrees. I have not experienced this with leather seats. > Whenever I get out of my '04 Camry I get a shock when my fingers touch the > outside of the door.

Static shocks are common in dry air as in winter, that is how fires start at gas stations when you are filling up. > Whenever I get out of my '04 Camry I get a shock when my fingers touch the > outside of the door.

I've found this problem in my '96 Camry depends on humidity levels and what type of shirt you're wearing. Synthetic blends seem to make it worse. During winter there is no static problem. Jason It maybe because of your seats cover. Or the type of clothes you are putting on, (i.e. if you put on wool traouser you will face the same problem) also shoes made with some materials in thier sole. specially chainees made. just check these points and you will find one of them is the reason. > Whenever I get out of my '04 Camry I get a shock when my fingers touch the > outside of the door. It might help to get a grounding strap for your car. It screws into (for example) the bottom of the trunk and drags on the ground, dissipating excess charge. Throw out chain before you get out. > Whenever I get out of my '04 Camry I get a shock when my fingers touch the > outside of the door.

Some tire brands seem to insulate (and store static in the car) better than others. JustDave It is called static static from the rubbing of your clothing when you are driving will cause this ------------------------------- See my camry http://www.golfer-review.com/m_toyota/camry.htm > It is called static > > static from the rubbing of your clothing when you are driving will > cause this Especially the clothing in your crotch area.

Now *there's* a comment you don't see very often coming from a guy in his late 50's. ;) >>> It is called static >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > ;) Ya think that us oldsters don't have any sex drive, as we drive about in our 99 Camry CE V6's looking at the high school babes who, if THEY had been in our classes BACK THEN, would guarantee that NO WORK would ever get accomplished in class. I'd be PERMANENTLY in a hardened state instead of just half the time, if I remember back to those days, correctly. > >>> It is called static > >>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > accomplished in class.

Methinks you misspent your youth... :) Mike >>>>> It is called static >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Mike Sometimes I had to, uh, take matters in hand EIGHT times a time, back then. There was one babe, in Grade 9, man, I had to go home a lunch to, uh, get some privacy....... Ah, yes, Mary S., was her name...boy oh boy to have her in the back seat of a Camry.. THAT would give those shocks a good workout. |
