    I have an 01 360 with one key and one black fob. I have owned the car for a couple of weeks and noticed the red led light on the dash stays on and the car does not chirp when I lock it although it does lock. OK now the actual problem out of the blue today, the car would not actually start. It turned over with no problem but it is like the immobilezer will not allow the car to actually start.

    After many tries of recycling the alarm the car finally started. I drove it home over an hour, parked it and now it doesn't start again. It will turn over but it just won't fire off. Also when I have been locking the car and not hearing a confirming chirp, I go back and pull on the outside door handle. The car is locked but the window rolls down an inch or so. Then I have to unlock the car and allow the window to go back up. As long as I do not pull the door handle that doesn't happen.

    Today when the car was acting up, I hit the remote to attempt to lock and unlock it and the window seemed to go down even further than it normally does. The weekend is here and I would love to drive this car. ANY IDEAS TO HELP ME!! Thanks in advance!!

    the acoustic sound you don't hear with doors lock and unlock is an easy fix. It has to do with the alarm. I don't know about the other issues, ut i just had that fixed in my car.

    Well I figure a 9 year old Ferrari may give me some issues here and there. It seems to be a very good car aside from the few minor bugs I have already worked out of it. Thanks!!

    Had the same issue with my 04 CS, it turned over, but would not start. Had to have it towed to dearler who said alarm horn went out so had to have it replaced and now starts as normal. They had the part in stock so I figure it was something that happens more often then not on this model.

    Least its documented now for other searchers on f-chat.... a bad alarm siren can indeed affect the immobilizer so she will not fire... My guess is battery corrosion must short something in the siren out that confuses the immobilizer..

    Well the great thing about it is SO FAR, these have been minor, inexpensive fixes. Let's hope the BIG ONE is not on the way!!!!

    Get the check book ready. Or even better, dump it.
    Is this car from Florida?
