Default Funny thing happened this morning...

I forgot my keys in the ignition on Saturday (turned on), and left it like that for a good 4 hours I wanna say, like a retard. I forgot that happened so of course when I went to turn on my car this morning, no spark. haha. Hooked up my battery charger and was good to go in 5 mins. =]

On another completely unrelated note: My driver side blinker doesn't work, but the bulb works and the rear blinker works. Shitty wiring or blown fuse?

Bulbs that are illuminated when the running lights are on AND blink brighter when you signal have a dual filament bulb. Does it blink fast? You may have to replace the bulb cause the blinker filament is burned out even if the running light one is still good.

Ok, I'll probably get a new bulb, but the wiring looks kinda weird...taped up mess.
