electrical problems
I really dont konw whats wrong with my car everything just started to not work all of a sudden. I went away for a week on vacation and when i took the car out for a drive for the first time a whole list of things dont work. No one touched it while i was gone. Heres whats wrong
Turn signals dont reset themselves anymore, bad spring in the steering column?
My instrument panel isnt back light anymore. Its not a blow fuse they are all solid and its not the dimmer switch because the cigarette lighter lights up/ dims as well as some of the other lights in the center panel
The turn signals (the green part) dont light up when turned on on the insturment panel, they work fine on the exterior part but not on the inside. This in combination with them not reseting has gotten really annoying.
what can i do? how could all this go wrong when she was just sitting in the driveway?

Other than the turn signal problem, the electrical could be a blown fuse (or fuses) or possibly a rodent that got a hold of your wires.
I've had mice and squirels nest in my parked cars on more than 1 occasion. Happens real fast, as long is there is no activity for a few days. I live in semi-rural area, so I always have to start or move my machinery around to shake them loose. May want to have a looksee under the hood..
