What was the bit about WINDOW's?

My problem is still the same with the new battery. Battery symbol lights up 20 ish seconds after start up.
Any ideas as i need to drive to the UK from Spain on Monday next.

Take the fuel filter out and check the thin blue wire coming out of the wiring harness. They normally rub through. Common fault on FL2's, if you search you should find quite a few posts on here about it. Thumbs Up

Here’s one post. There are more.
