What did you use to read these airbag codes? My Porsche 996TT Service Manual does not have airbag fault codes 42 or 60. Fault codes 10, 11, 26, 27, 39 Ignition circuit, passenger Possible cause of fault: - Short circuit to B+/ground or open circuit in the wiring between the passenger airbag unit and the airbag triggering unit - Passenger's airbag unit is faulty - Triggering unit for airbag is faulty

Back on December 3, 2016 I gave you the code 8686 and you said that worked. If it does perhaps you should write it down somewhere?

As Richard said you do not need to do anything the system will remember your PCM. -
CHF 202 is the factory fill and should be the only fluid used for power steering. In normal operation the fluid should be checked but unless there is a leak it is highly unlikely you will need to top it up. The cap (green I think) near the left front fender has small dipstick built in.

Ignition wire gasket

I have posted this before... the resistance is the best way to check your coils. I always check them whenever I them off for spark plug changes as well as when I see P0300 codes. For the 996 series cars (and 997-1 series) Resistance between terminal 1 and terminal 15 at 20°C: 0.3 - 0.7 Ohms -

What happened to the different radio (and code) I gave you in March 2017?
-
Unfortunately if it is beyond the common faults like the handbrake microswitch or a physically damaged part then is will take more diagnosis. Sorry.
-
You are just guessing without one of these tools - and that can get expensive fast when you buy parts you do not need. Most good Porsche independent shops have one of these tools.
-
A Porsche PST2 or PIWIS have quite a few more options and tests they can perform on tops.
-
A PIWIS or perhaps even Durametric should be able to tell which switch is not working properly.

Testing trunk solenoid

Just to be clear the alarm issue and the top issue or two different issues. Does your handbrake light come and off when applied and released?

Looks like you are both right. I looked at all the wiring diagrams. MY1999 through MY2001 has two brake light switches. MY2002 - MY2005 has one brake light switch.
-
Two switches on the brake pedal - one for brake lights and one for cruise control (if you have that option). Two switches on the clutch pedal - one for clutch disengage and one for cruise control (if you have that option).

Only a shop with a Porsche PIWIS tool can make the radio to car match. It requires reading out the old radio and then reading in the new radio -- IPAS codes are required. You will need to find a shop or dealer to perform this change.
