weird one?

[corofin12345]

im getting shocks up through the gearstick when i select the indicators.. ive checked/cleaned all earths and still happening.. happen anyone before?

 

[Nickzorz]

I know its not really helpfull but...

Make someone else change gear for u

Thats shocking, wahay couldnt resist :haha:

Seriously though that is rather strange. How bad a shock are we talking John?

 

[weeJohn]

I have to ask, does the shock come and go when the indicators are flashing on and off? If not then the fault is from the stalk to the relay and not from the relay to the indicators.

Narrows down your search area a bit.

 

[corofin12345]

^^^nope.. just as i select them up or down.. just one shock and doesnt happen all the time.. never get shocks off the car getting out or anything.. must search deeper.

 

[bucketep91]

get a rubber gear nob, at least that'l stop the shocks lol

 

[corofin12345]

not the shocks im worried about.. its whats causing it that ill have to find out

This is going to sound really odd, but try holding the gear stick and selecting the left and right indicator without touching the stalk and see if it happens.

Use a piece of wood or a screwdriver, nothing that will conduct.

What about when you operate the hazards?

 

[corofin12345]

just tried that and it happened again once.. dont get a shock with hazzards on.. it only seems to happen after a spirited drive? i cant see it been static.. its hardly cause ive the turbo timer rigged into the handbrake switch?? but then again it would have to be coming from the engine side wouldnt it, folowing linkages etc

Have you got a clamp meter? Could be earth leakage from the gearbox earth?

Faulty stalks ! current leakage from them and passing through you and then hitting the metal gearstick completeing the circiut, resulting in shock !

 

[corofin12345]

ive trouble shooted nearly everything and cleaned all earths... its not really annoying me but i like finding things that are wrong..lol

it cant be cause i didnt earth myself to the stalk the last few times trying it!

 

[VXR230BHP]

Current will arc and jump ! but you must completeing the circuit to receive a shock.

right ill explain deeper.. i didnt touck the stalk the last few times.. i used a solid rubber hammer to turn on the stalk and i still got a shock...

 

[VXR230BHP]

Where you're other hand ?

 

[corofin12345]

on the gearstick man.. i know what your trying to say with completing the circuit an all but it doenst seem to be the case this time

 

[VXR230BHP]

Sounds like a bad earth connection ! any corrsion on the connection will even do this and cause earth leakage.
