    What you have done to yourself is given yourself frostbite with a chemical reaction, and you've killed several layers of skin. Rather than risk an infection, go to a doctor who will tell you how to treat this and with what. Your dead skin will be peeling (with resulting pain), and you will want to keep the injury clean and free of germs. And you don't want to end up with a scar -- or maybe that might be good so you never do something this stupid again.

    What happened is that you essentially gave yourself a good dose of frostbite bordering on 2-3 degree burns. This is going to take a while to heal.

Automatic Transmission "2" & "3" [ 9 Answers ]

2002 Ford Explorer. If I put it in "3" instead of Drive, it's in 3rd even from startup. Is this normal? I was thinking that if I have it in 3rd, then 3rd would be the maximum... that is, that it would start in 1, then go to 2 and 3 but not higher. Thanks!
