red light stays on while driving for alarm?

Most likely your alarm siren has given up. The siren has a rechargeable battery that seems to fail after a certain period of time that varies according to where you live. Long time in the desert, short time where humidity is high.

The latest version of the Ferrari siren lasts a bit longer, but still costs $300 plus. There is a GM replacement for the Corvette that works and is less than $100. Search the 360 forum for alarm siren GM for the part number and comments.

 

My 355 light stays on after I push the fob botton and stops blinking.

 

I can see it in the parts catalog and it is located up front, but do not know the exact location. Hopefully another F355 owner can tell you where it is located. It may show in your alarm manual that came with the car. The OM and WSM are notably unhelpful.

That is atrociously expensive. Not sure if the later model like fitted to my 575M will fit or not. You might ask Daniel at Ricambi.

Folks have also replaced the rechargeable batteries, but failure rate is high and the circuit boards are often trashed by leaking batteries.

 

There is no problem..

 

Just changed mine last year. If your battery is pooched the alarm will not chirp when arming or disarming. The light will stay on after the car is started. these are the two most common signs that the inner alarm battery is not working.

The alarm on my 1999 is in behind the drivers wheel towards the front of the car. You need to take the wheel off and all the inner fender stuff. It is right In front of the inner wheel and behind the headlight chamber fender at the front. You cannot get to it by removing stuff inside the bonnet. Look on ricambi s website and you will see what it looks like. I kept the old one to change the battery . It plugs in and I could not plug it in while mounted so I had to remove the mount plug it in and then remount.

 

Most likely the battery in the siren has given up the ghost.

The siren is a Bosch 15213135.

I seem to recall I needed to buy a small connector to bridge the connections from the wire harness to the siren connector.

Good write up about the siren here:

Tony- Doubt the dealership will install a non-Ferrari part.

Just search the part number.

 

Maybe mine was different failure I thought those were the only two cases. I would still bet the internal battery is the problem. On thing about buying original is I'm sure ricambi would take it back if it was not the problem.
