Flat Battery

Post by Fox63 »

Anybody ever had this: I went to my car on Monday morning to find the battery flat...barely enough energy to tun the starter. So i jumped in the SLK to go to work. On returning I jumped the car and went out for a run to get some charge back into the battery while looking around to find out if I'd left any lights on. I hadn't, but did discover on my first left turn that one of the indicator bulbs was inop. When I got home I changed the front left. The filament was ok....but it did look blown.

The question is this: how likely is it that this bulb shorted out and drained the battery? It's the only explanation I can come up with.
