I mentioned this in another post, but wanted to specifically see if anyone has ideas.

My buddy had his hands on the AC lines when the driver door was shut and felt an electric shock go into his hands (he's mechanical, not inclined to imagine such things).

What could I check to try to run this down? Any leads at all?

Thanks everyone.

Weird electrical things are almost always caused by bad grounds. Check engine to chassis. If the ground wire is bad, it might be using the AC lines to connect the engine and chassis.

 

Bingo. Start with the grounds.

Grounds go bad.

Look for any open wires that may be touching the lines, or nearby. What happens if you disconnect the a/c connector? Is the shock still there?

 

As I've said before, it's clear from your posts that you really do not understand electricity.

You also don't seem to know aluminum tubing from rubber hose.

No you don't know it "very well". You've posted absolute nonsense on many threads on things electrical. You've got a few smidgens of facts, with no understanding of theory at all. You know just enough to be dangerous.

In addition to posting ignorant nonsense, the last time I challenged your garbage on the subject you told a very different story about your electrical knowledge and background. Odd - it has grown quite a bit since last time. Funny how that often works that way with Internet experts.

You really should just shut up

 

Hey Guys ... is there a way to use the multimeter to test that idea of a charge going into the AC system, instead of grounding correctly?

This is probably obvious... do I check for voltage from the AC lines to the battery ground?

 

Yes.


Set the multimeter to read 20 volts DC. Touch the Aluminum Liquid Line with the meter positive probe and the negative probe to the battery negative post.


The Liquid Line goes from the opening in the fire wall to the Evaporator, to the Condenser in front of the radiator - no hose in between. The Condenser is grounded to the chassis through the radiator support.


Consider disassembling the ground at G100 (right inner fender) and removing all rust/corrosion from the inner fender, the wire ring terminal, and the bolt/screw, then reassemble securely.

I'm laughing at how nujeepguy keeps deleting his posts when it's shown he's just plain wrong.
