Default Keyless entry fuse keeps blowing...Ideas?

My Keyless entry/alarm fuse keeps blowing. It doesn't blow right away. It will work for some time and then blows after driving it a few times. Because of this, it's been difficult to diagnose.

Any ideas or what I can do to diagnose it properly?

Anyone ever have a faulty door lock actuator that would intermittently short out or something? That's the only thing I can think of at the moment.

TIA

Do you have a Cabriolet?
Did the control box under the left-hand seat get wet?

'01 C2 non Cabrio. I checked the ECU already for damp spots or water as I've read that in another post but they are dry.

Still sounds like the alarm control box.
Have you checked for faults with a Durametric or a Porsche tester?

Thanks, I don't have durametric but I'll try that next. I didn't realize durametric could pull alarm codes.
