    The driver's side window will not drop the one half inch so that the door is allowed to open. Worked normally, locked the car with the remote and now the window has to be lowered using the switch to enter the driver's side. Passenger's side is working normally

    Reviewed the threads to find the solution, but nothing has worked so far. Latch micro switch is working properly.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I am new to FC with a 575M purchased two months ago from FoSan Diego. My previous F cars are: 348tb, Testarossa, 355GTS. I must say the 575 is my favorite.

    Serial and assembly number will be posted shortly when I introduce myself and my 575.

    As I said in my original post....the driver window did not respond to any of the "fixes" that I found in this forum.....tried them all back to some posted in 2007.

    Tried something new: rolled d/s window up with switch and exited passenger side. Used the OTHER remote to lock the car and let sit overnight. Unlocked today with same remote used to lock last night and d/s window dropped the one half inch. Appears to work correctly now.

    Thanks for sharing. We now have another option. Suspect it's Ferrari's unique electronics, sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

    I had the same problem on my previous 575 and IIRC it turned out to be a badly adjusted micro switch in the handle/ lock assembly

    Yes, that's a common fault. The exterior one can cause the same issue.
