Default Electrical problem.

I posted this last week, but didn't really get much help... I was driving in the rain last sunday, and basically my left front marker light went out, as did my left rear tail... the wierd thing is, right before they went out, the left blinker indicator on the dash (the green arrow) lit up, and stayed lit, not blinking. I turned the lights off and then back on, and that fixed the light on, but then my bulb out warning came on... since then the two previously mentioned lights have not worked (though my left turn signal works fine) I checked the bulbs in front and back- both are okay, I switched the bulbs anyway, with the ones from the other side of the car, and no luck. I am totally lost. any suggestions?

Probably shorted somewhere, and popped the fuse for the left side parking lights..
