    The power window icons on the window switches stay lit all the time on my 355gts. Does anyone have the same situation? Somehow this does not seem normal & this is with the key off & lights off. Have only had the car for a month. ANY INFO IS APPRECIATED.

    Not noticed if mine stay on...

    However, you can use the windows from the drivers side with the ignition off- perhaps its something to do with that.

    Are you sure they dont go off after about 30 seconds after you remove the key AND close the door, I believe they are wired into the cabin timer relay, and turn off the same time the overhead light would.

    ROBERT-my windows work for 2 minutes (as stated in manual) after key is turned off.
    MICHAEL-the cabin lights works as you mentioned but the window icons stay on.
    The problem I am having is that if I don't drive the car for 3 days the battery goed dead. I found a draw in the window circuit & in my radio/cd changer circuit. I removed fuses in both & battery seems to hold charge. I put in window fuses last night & I am waiting to see if battery voltage drops.
    PS-YES I KNOW I SHOULD DRIVE THE CAR-BUT THAT IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE-LIFE GETS IN THE WAY.

    I CHECKED BATTERY VOLTAGE & FOUND VOLTAGE DROPS .15 VOLTS EACH DAY WITH POWER WINDOW FUSES INSTALLED. I AM CONVINCED NOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH WINDOW ICONS STAYING LIT. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW THIS SYSTEM WORKS OR HAVE A WIRING DIAGRAM FOR THIS CIRCUIT. ALL FERRARI CAN SAY IS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT IT-AT A COSTLY PRICE I'M SURE.
