Go by a local shop & let them do a fault scan to determine the reason of the warning light, if it just needs resetting they can accomplish that with the scanner. The power window, check the fuse location #30 in the fuse panel it is located below and to the left of the steering wheel by the brake pedal. Remove the panel cover to access the fuses.
