Nice seeing you yesterday, Patrick. My guess on the bulb would be that it might have gone during that removal of the turn signal. I love our little cars, but having to nail that tab with a screwdriver to remove the housing can't be good for a tiny filament. As for test driving, fuse, sometimes the CEL doesn't present itself on the first drive or two. And yes, Patrick, you are the new nail magnet king.
