Hey so I was turning on my car and didn't twist the ignition all the way and gave up then twisted it back before killing it all the way and I heard a screechy squeal. I left the car on for a couple minutes and the service light was on for a minute or two then went off. I turned it off then started it and the service light was off then turned on and off within a 5 minute intervals and now I parked it. Would you have any clue what I did and should do? Thank you
