I think you'll understand what I mean when I say that I feel as though electronics is 50% magic and 50% technology.

Some of the things that happen around electronic components is just ineffable...never WILL figure it all out.

When last reported, the car door locks, which had refused to lock manually from inside, but did lock with key, started working normally again...and have continued to do so.

Left me with a right turn signal blinker flashing VERY fast while driving, but at normal speed when standing still. Several great suggestions made as to possible cause, and I was going to have that investigated.

Now, the turn signal blinker flashes at normal speed under all conditions.

I have to think that it is all somehow temperature related, though I have no idea how that could be; when the totally discharged battery was recharged (in very cold conditons) somehow some electronic components were tardy in responding.
It is STILL very cold, but everything is apparently back to normal.
