Default Shocked myself on the overhead light socket today while trying to remove the overhead console.

It hurt like a beeeaaach and was throbbing for about five minutes. Be careful!
BTW if anyone knows anything about upgrading to an auto dimming mirror (that's what I was in the process of doing), see if you can help me out on this thread:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/636996.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/636996.phtml</a</li></ul>

Default Can you say psychosomatic?

you can't get 'shocked' on 12vdc..
You may have poked your finger on some sharp metal or something, but 12v ain't gonna do it.

Default I have no fvcking clue what happened then.

My only guess would be that I burned my hand and when I flung it away and hit my arm on some part of the car, I hit a nerve too that caused that sensation.

Default btw...I don't remember too much about electricity.

But why can't you be shocked by DC?
