Coming out of a merge lane to get into traffic (that exit ramp coming off 264 going towards Princess Anne/ Independence) I got on it. I shifted hard into 2nd under the tunnel and "heard" a spark and thought I saw one out of the corner of my eye. I immediately let off. Then the parking brake and battery lights began flashing on and off as they still do. Can anyone give me an idea what happened and what can be done about this? I feel like a moron.
