    I hope your blinker fluid runs out so you have to buy another new car.

    There's no jumper posts in these cars right? You gotta go straight to the battery?

    Yes but its so easy,

    Thumb screw and the panel folds down ( in the footwell of the passenger side ) You will easily see the posts on the battery.

    I wish you luck. Just pointing out that it can and will happen again.

    These cars have very small alternators they all take electricity when off so the conclusion will be the same.

    Look at the way your voltage goes up and down as you drive. I have NEVER had a car that behaved this way.

    IMO its just a Ferrari thing but I cannot be 100% sure and with that I prefer to be prepared.

    For me it only had to happen once a second time was not an option.
