Hi guys
noticec the other night for the first time my sunroof switch the electric window switches were all lit up when I went to my car??
is this normal should they stay on once the car is locked? or will this drain the battery???

Door pin doesn't connect when it's pushed in - it disconnects.
Not unusual for the switch not to connect when the door is open, (same fault as when the interior lights don't come on), but it's very unusual for them not to disconnect when the door closes. Either the switch is broken or the wire's shorting inside the door pillar.
The switches should only be lit, (and the windows work), when the ignition is on, or the front doors are open.
