Electrical Components
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
It is safe to assume that everyone has been shocked at one time or another when coming into contact with a metal object. The reason for this is the build-up of static electricity in the human body. This charging can lead to malfunctions by touching electrical components in the steering gear and the steering column.
-- Touch a grounded object, for example, a water pipe or a vehicle hoist, before working on electrical components. Do not touch the connector terminals.
