To strange not to be true

[Daniel]

I have a friend who is a tech at the jeep dealer. A customer wanted some additional work done to a new Cherokee. That afternoon a storm comes up and the car is hit by lightning in the lot. Now the car turns over but no crank. After assuming all the electronics are fried and begining a swap he notices that even the new parts dont respond. After going up the ladder at jeep, he finally gets the right guy. The car metal is making a magnetized enviroment he says. It needs to be degaussed. My friend gets a degaussing tool from a TV repair man and runs it around the car. With all the original parts in the car, turns the key and RRRROOMM. Car is well.

This also works for your picture tube. After you've left an unshielded speaker to near. . :devious:

Actually Daniel you could fry a cars computer with electrostatic shock from your hand. When entering a car and the conditions are right, grabbingm the ECM with out grounding yourself is a big . If you can hear/feel a spark if I remeber right it is like 5 to 10 thousand volts. When you start to see them it like 20. A nature made pocket of EMP. The owner of that Jeep must have normal bad luck!! . :devious:
