Why is it that lately I have been getting this weird static buildup in my car? Like I have been driving most of today, the last two stops were at the downtown pizza place, got out, got back in, went to my wife's work, I sat in the car for about 20 minutes, the when I got home, I opened the door, stepped out, and when I placed my hand on the outside part of the door, I got zapped.
Now this has been happening 4 or 5 times a week(and I drive it every day), for about the past 3 weeks, it's been more annoying then anything, and now it's just(y) a bitch.
What the hell?

Be careful of some kind of short. Poorly installed stereos are often the culprit for exit jolts. Cruddy connections, etc. I used to get a decent 'zap' before I repaired the door buzzer button area - it was mostly erroded away. The positive would touch to metal every now and again as the the switch just sort of lay there in a rust gap. When the 'ding-buzzer' started activating at random times , I put 2 and 2 together. I used to tell people it was a crappy passenger jokes alarm .
