Shock me shock me shock me

And a lot of times it's difficult for us electrical-minded people to explain issues to non-electrical, not because you're dumb, but simply because it's another language. If you don't know Amps and Watts and Coils and Capacitance and Induced voltages due to collapsing magnetic fields, how else can I explain it? I don't have another word for "volts", I don't have a clever analogy. It's "Volts", that's what it's called, that's the only word I have for it.

So, you guys are correct, 12V by itself is not enough to give you a shock on dry skin, or even wet skin (but don't touch your tongue to it!). If you are getting a shock from a 12V system, it HAS to be boosted some way, and apparently it's the Horn Relay (and thank you to Ray. I'm an Electrical Engineer, but I don't know this circuit, so I had no idea where it would come from).
