Logbook Entry
ANSWERPHONE MESSAGE TRANSCRIPT, origin unknown, January 31st, 1975.
Hey Jill. So we've been through the latest batch of tests and almost everything is negative. You're right that this thing does respond to ground vibration and clearly senses nearby movement, but beyond that there's no reaction to any other kind of stimulus. Not light, not sound, not radiation, not any kind of changes in atmosphere, humidity ... nothing. The best I can suggest right now is that its behavior is kind of territorial, often attacking anything it senses is close.
Wait. Not that I'm saying this thing is displaying intelligence. It's just some kind of chemical reaction.
We're still saying that they aren't intelligent, right? And, uh, anyone even begin to figure out what these things might be made of yet?

Synopsis
Crackling crawlers are an electrical anomaly that speed along the ground and summon Minutemen in their wake. If they come into contact with the car or the Driver they will cause electrical damage.
Counter
Total avoidance is the only known method of avoiding taking damage from this Anomaly. However, having insulated doors, panels, and/or bumpers equipped to the car may help reduce damage taken, though it will never provide true immunity. It will, however, block the Charged effect from affecting neighboring parts.
Junction Conditions
These anomalies cause your car to experience a speed boost when a junction has the 
Shocking Speed condition in effect.
These anomalies cause your car's battery to drain faster when a junction has the 
Disruptive Discharge condition in effect.
These anomalies confer more damage to your car when a junction has the 
Violent Voltage and/or 
Overcharged Electricity conditions in effect.
