a quick electric window question...

Hello!
Just a quick question.
On my Scorpio (2,0 DOHC 8v, manual) -96, I've noticed that the buttons for the electric windows (the buttons are at the inside of the door) are always lit. Should not use very much battery, but is this the normal or should they go out when the car is not being used?

IIRC they are lit all the time when the ignition is on  Not when the car is switched off though!

First off, does you car have the battery cover fitted, and have you noticed anything else electrical playing up?
This would give us a good starting point of where to look.

Hi pback ..is it ONLY the door switches ? .. if the timer relay was playing up then there would be other stuff staying on ..so perhaps a door wire touching where it goes through the door post ..there are a couple of non ignition lives in the doors so it has to be one of those touching ..elimination I'm afraid ... keep us informed please .... cheers ...STN

Yes, the batterycover is fitted, and no other electrical problems (and one of the fuseboxes are just a couple of months old).
So, yes it's only the door switches, but I should also say that they are working (when the ignition is off), so it's not only the lights.
The battery uses 110mA when the ignition is off, which is too much. When disconnecting the window motors the battery uses just 30mA. But everything seems fine when inspecting inside the doors.
I'm looking for wiring diagrams, but all I find is http://www.carsoft.ru/avtorepair/sierra_el.html but I don't know if it's for the Scorpio, the link says 'sierra'.
I don't know which relay to inspect.. suggestions?

I've come to the conclusion that i allways have power to the fuse 26, which regulates the powerwindows.
But I'm not certain wheter the problem is in the central fuse box or in the wiring between the battery and the fusebox. Before taking the box apart, I want to be sure that the box is the problem.
But since my natural talent for reading wiring diagrams isn't totally perfect, I have a couple of questions for someone that has.
the picture is from http://www.carsoft.ru/avtorepair/sierra/powerwind2.pdf
What does the numbers 15 and 9 refer to? Are they the numbers on the contact that goes to the central fusebox?

savethenight:
The timer relay sounds interesting, do you know which one it is? and where it is? what more than the powerwindows should be affected by that relay?
phew! it's exciting trying to fix a car without garage and the outside temp is -16 °C
