    Hi, just bought a F430 and read through all the manuals and have some general newbie questions that I haven't been able to find an answer for.
    What is the red light that flashes continuously on the Ferrari radio? I'm not talking about the alarm red light on the mode/set panel.
    Also when I open and close the driver's side door some kind of electric pump runs, what is that?

    Thank you for your help,

    Scott.

    You'll probably find the answers somewhere in the 360/430 section lower down

    My recollection is the pump is pressurising the F1 hydraulic system

    The radio's flashing red light I think is when the car is off and is part of its anti-theft system

    Thanks for everyone's reply.
    How do I know if the car has headlight washers or is that an option? It has the cutouts on the fender and markings on the lever inside but if standard they apparently don't work. The car only has 7272 miles on it.
    Also, where can I get a replacement cartridge for the fix N go system? I went to the website and it seems they ship everywhere but the US. Or should I just ditch this for a can of fix a flat?

    Thanks again,

    Scott
