Sorry for the delayed update everyone. Had a different issue I have been trying to deal with. Anyways, to answer the questions... No there is no block warmer connected. And yes it shocks everyone. We figured that if your standing it is just a light static feeling but if you are laying down say under the jeep and you touch metal it is like a well charged balloon zapping you. I was trying to figure out my reverse lights when i discovered even MORE rogue wires. the spliced into the wiring to not only add an additional bulb in the rear light housing (for towing) but the ran separate wires for a different type of trailer hook up. all that rats nest is under the rear corner. when i was back there i noticed the shock seems stronger. I have check the frame with a multi meter and the back is showing around 11v and the from between 9v - 10v So even though it is 108 in Arizona right now I'm gonna go out there and check those rear wires. I'll let everyone know. Thanks for the input,
Well this is SHOCKING

Well I guess the closest reply goes to G. Hayhuke!!
And the price for dumbest TJ owner... Ya ill take that cause I am still confused on how this is possible. But I had to let you guys now what was the end result..
So keep in mind whenever I work on my jeep I go to my sons apartment cause my complex wont even let you change a light bulb. And every time I have work on the jeep I am roughly in the same parking spot if not next to it. WELL G. Hayduke got me thinking why would there be AC volts on the Jeep. And sure enough will my multimeter im readying them from a 120v range and look what i found..
And for some reason everything was charged that day. anything metal on the jeep didn't just feel charged, it shocked you. So i unplugged the battery and still everything was charged. How the f#$k!!! And then My son, the certified CHEVY mechanic say's "Pop would overhead power lines maybe send a charge through the jeep? And sure a hell... We are standing under basically oy city's main power lines.
So i took off. Drove about 2 miles and pulled over. And sure as hell there is no charge under the Jeep anywhere, When I returned everything again is shocking to the touch....
Anyone else experience this? Or did i buy a transformer?
And thank you everyone for your advise and trying to kill me and every thing. I really do appreciate it. Now if i could just figure out this overheat BS i can go off-road again.

You need to contact whatever entity is responsible for that power line. Your situation should not happen.
Glad you figured it out, and that's a bit frightening!
Also, this thread is useless without pics! I'd love to see some pics of the Apex, especially those pumpkin seats!

sounds like the perfect spot to park a EV for free charging !
What do you think might be happening there? Do you think there could be a "leak" conducting voltage into the ground through the pole/tower?
1. conductors oriented correctly in the field, yes, but I wouldn't expect that to this extent in a car chassis
2. I interpreted his suggestion to call the power company to imply that this is not the typical/expected induction.
