Convertible top don't work, windows wont roll up nor down, trunk will not open nor lock by remote and door lock lights stay on. When the car is turn off, it continuosly beeps. I have to disconnect the battery for it to stop beeping. Car runs good, radio works, A/C and heat works good. I removed the positive and negative terminal from battery and pressed them together for 30 sec in an attempt to drain the capacitor but nothing happened.

When I reconnected the battery terminals I connected the positive first and when I connected the negative it created sparks as I tuched the negative pole with the negative terminal. I don't know if that spark indicates anything bad. The baterry is new (2 days old) I checked all fuses in the fuse box but they were all found ok.
Can you help?

It sounds like the top is not closing all the way causing the windows and truck not to open. Can you look at the latches to see if the top is up a little in the corner? Is there any kind of warning lights that stay on in the gauge cluster? Check the latch adjustments and micro switches.
