Sounds like your alternator shit the bed.
About a $60 job if you can do it yourself (less if you go refurbished). Double that if you take it to a mechanic. *If I'm correct |

Late Night After Work Car Problems. As opposed to cold winter mornings when it's absolutely shitty weather (cold, snowing..spitting rain and constant 30-40mph wind). And you really need your car. Cars always seem to know when to pick the absolute worst time to break down. Anyway there's no good time for a car to go belly up. They all suck.

Also, if it is your alternator you drained your battery and the replacement alternator won't be able to fully charge the battery back to 100%. You'll need to hook the battery up to a charger for a couple hours to get it back to full capacity.
I think AutoZone does this for free or if you have a steady mechanic I'm sure he'll hook you up if you don't own a charger. Good luck! |

Crank sensor?
I’m probably wrong, but if so, easily and cheap fix. |

I would start with a thorough evaluation of your blinker fluid (often overlooked maintenance item). If that seems okay, make sure your antifreeze still tastes sweet. A quart or two ought to do it.
