Window switch illumination always on? #1370542 08/26/05 12:54 PM

All four doors have the little up and down arrows illuminated. Shutting the car off disables them, so it is a switched lead that gives the circuit power. Is this normal? I sure don't remember these being active until I turned the headlights on. Perhaps a relay is stuck closed? 2000 CSVT (#289 of 2150) 1989 Mustang GT
