Unfortunately, I am still hearing two beeps about 15-20 seconds after I lock the door. My next step will be to check the top latch and see whether any of the wires have pulled loose. I will also scan the system again with my Durametric to see whether there are any codes.

On the plus side, the window on the passenger door drops when I pull the handle.
Yes, start checking all of the switches. If memory serves you need to check the front and rear trunks, gas flap door, radio, 2 micro switches for the convertible top, center console, door latch mechanisms and the micro switches for the inner and outer door handles. I think those are all of them - but going from memory.

That sounds like the best strategy.
