crazy question about our trailblazer

[Razorback]

what would make you get shocked everytime you get out of the trailblazer, front doors only, even other people in the trail can here you get shocked.

Few questions, cloth seats? Are you wearing jeans? And is it cold and dry out?

Edit: gets me in the winter and others on here as well.

Buildup of static electricity. Just like in the high school library. Drag your feet across the carpet then sneak up behind them and touch their ear. Fun times...

Cloth seats are notorious for building a static charge as you slide out.

I simply grab the door as I exit, grounds me and then no shock. Usually happens in the winter, cool dry air passes charge better if I recall correctly. Well not ground per say.

 

[djthumper]

spray some liquid fabric softener on the seats and carpet.

 

[Mounce]

Shocks me every single time I get out of it in the winter. Makes me laugh at how consistent it is lol.

 

[DAlastDON]

spray some liquid fabric softener on the seats and carpet.

Like fabreeze or like downy? Will make it smell good too.

 

[Sir ffeJ]

Or get one of those silly anti static straps that hangs underneath the rear of the truck and drags along the ground.

thank you for info, my friends thinks its funny, I have 6 suvs/trucks, and the trail is the only one that shocks you, they all have fabric seats.

 

[The_Roadie]

Stop wearing girly underwear.

 

[Razorback]

lol

My wife's van has been doing this throughout the winter. Not so fun really. Will try the fabric softener

I live in the driest state and have never had any noticeable issues with my truck and static electricity.

During "shock season" I usually have the habit of holding onto my keys and touching the body with one before I touch the truck myself. At night you can see the little blue arc

Static straps don't do a damn thing. My dad has 2 of those useless things on his truck and you still get shocked bad when you get out. For my parents cars, I get out with my finger in the little pull handle so my fingertip is on the bolt. I never get shocked doing that. On my envoy, I just grab the outside area of the door panel before I start to move out the seat and I am good. I never bother to spray my seats or anything because I cant stand the smell of that junk haha.
