So I get in my car this morning, and start driving to work. I go to hit my blinker, and nothing happens. Confused, I hit the hazard switch, still nothing. I get to work, and turn the car off and back on, and try again....nothing. I go to my pass. side and look at my sidemarker. The wire that goes to it is pulled out through my inner fender and twisted together. There is also a pry mark in my fender where they seemed to pry the inner fender well back to get to the wire. Its clear that it was twisted together...this didn't just happen somehow. Basically is just blew the fuses for my blinkers and hazards since it was twisted together. I replaced the fuses and reconnected the wires to the sidemarker and everything is fine. Was this some "gone in 60 seconds" lamo attempt to steal my car?? I'm confused and pissed at the same time. No damage was done, but I'd like to know what happened....blah...just venting

sounds like it

 

So someone tried stealing your sidemarkers? Or you yourself arent even sure of wtf happened?

 

Here's my guess:

A lonely, confused, adolescent squirrel was scurrying around one night in deep depression. He had no luck with the female type, and began drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He remembered a time, his loving mother was out searching for a good sack of nuts. Unfortunately she never came back... He found her body and studied forensics rigorously. With his newfound knowledge, he created a computer model and recreation of the accident, and found out it was caused by... none other than a Honda. In his drunken rage, he attempted to sabatoge your car...and your life. Luckily for you, he only succeeded in burning off his hair and half his brain cells. He now resides in a spaghettio's can outside of an abandoned trailer.

Or more likely, someone tried to steal your car and obviously doesn't know what the hell they're doing.

The sidemarkers were well intact so they weren't trying to steal those....

HAHA so funny.
Im sure someone was trying to get under your hood by looking for the hood release cable. Very common and easy to do. Relocate that thing

LOL I have no hood cable at all. I used a trunk pop solenoid to open my hood via my alarm. I also have a hidden switch for it inside. I think someone was more after what was inside since I have a kinda flashy head unit and I left the faceplate on last night.

 

Sounds like someone was trying to get inside your car. Sucks to here cause I live in the Roc also. Im glad to see that was all that happened though, because I hear way to many horror stories everyday.

 

Im still putting my money on the hood latch idea. If you don’t have the cable there then that supports my theory even more! You should disconnect the batt and alarm before opening door
You should be siked your protection worked! I know I would be

Yeah I am, but considering this happened in my apt parking lot, I won't be suprised if it happens again. I've been an electronics installer for 8 yrs, so I added a few options today.....I added a backup battery, Prox, and 2 mini sirens in the vents. I don't have an underhood siren so its connected with the horn on a constant pulse so when its set off the horn just blows constantly. Its ridiculously loud with the extra sirens. You can't even sit inside. I'm also in the process of doing a fuel pump cutoff with the wires run under the bottom of the car, and an ecu cut off switch as well. Both will be hidden. This basically got me off my *** to do the things I've been thinking about for awhile....**** thieves
