Thanks for any and all informed suggestions.
Was everything normal prior to this cleaning?

Check for water under the passanger seat. Hopefully nothing was damaged. Maybe a loose connection????

Hi, thanks for responding. Yes, everything worked fine prior to and immediately after steam cleaning the interior. The following day is when the issue with the windows not retracting manifested. I saw no visible signs of water build up or condensation.

The fuse that keeps blowing is C3 not D3 as I indicated in my initial post.

Sounds like a shorted wire.

Did you nick a wire or knock something loose while installing the cup holder?

The cup holder was inserted into the central arm rest storage space without apparent issue. Not sure why C3 fuse keeps blowing..can't seem to find the short. Hoping I don't need to bring it in to the Porsche Dealership.

Maybe the CLU unit under the driver's seat got wet when the carpets were steam cleaned. Going to take out the seat, inspect and clean the CLU circuit board with isopropyl alcohol. Short of this I am at a loss.

If you can, pack (zip-lock bag) the CLU in some desiccant for a couple days to pull out any moisture. Even uncooked white rice would work.
