Help please

The double beep indicates a fault in the central locking system. If you have access to a Durametric, you could get the fault codes. Even then, the codes don't necessarily tell you exactly what part is acting up. Sometimes you'll find several faults and it takes some clever thinking to put it all together. For example, I had the double beep, multiple codes problem and for the life of me couldn't figure out exactly what was going on. One day, someone opened the passenger door and the red light on the door lock rocker switch went on at the same time even though no one was locking anything. This suggested a fault in the passenger door lock and it turned out this was in fact the case. Good luck.

Thanks for the information and reply. I had a double beep too before this problem, now it's just a single beep when locking the car. I'll have to have it looked at once I get the top on, at least it's driveable. I wonder if it's the microswitches in the doors or the one for the top? I hear it clicking when I move it with my finger but that doesn't mean it's working.
Thanks,
Joe

Just an update on my window dilemma. They are both working again, it must have been the microswitch(if that's what it's called) in the back of the roof. I raised and lowered the top and the windows started working again. I have noticed the convertible top light has been staying lit on the dash when it's up or down. Anyway I'm thankful I didn't destroy anything with using the wrong amperage fuse. I thought I better post the solution in case someone in the future has the same problem, so maybe that Porsche tech was right after all. Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it.
