ok.. so windows don't work, top won't move, trunks & *@#! gas door won't open

add the relay switches at the latch site of the top to your overhaul #2 list. Without a little glob of silicon on my "hook" to depress the activator more, my windows will not go past "top operation" mode.

Lets hope its something stupid easy like a fuse and not the immobilizer. Main reason I keep hounding for it, is that my 99 did the same thing... first it was the keyless entry not working, then the windows, and then finally no start.
keep us updated!

I have to ask, Spencer... Did u end up having to replace ur immobilizer?

OK, so another update...

I'm pretty sure the roof is a separate issue so I'll stop crying about it (on this thread anyway... Lol). The final solution to travesty that is the convertible top circuitry is still to just remove it all and go manual. In this case, I'm thinking the problem is the micro switch above the windshield.

As for the windows and locks...
I pulled the seat and didn't find any relays for the windows or locks. I did find the mysterious immobilizer however. (Porsche part#: 123-car-no-longer-workie-because-frunk-you-customers-thats-why).

Heres some pictures because why not... Everyone loves pictures.

The well under the seats and wiring harness. No crimps or damage to the wires. Some older moisture indication (slight discoloration) on the carpet back against the firewall but none on the immobilizer or in the well.

The connectors under the seats. No indication of moisture or corrosion. That and I'm pretty confident all this bs is related to making the seats move around.

[sam c.]

The immobilizer connections. All look good and clean. No hint of corrosion of any kind.

Another one...

This component looks brand frunking new...
