I think that there is a procedure to reset the locks. You could probably find it
in the history or AudiWorld.com

It may also be caused by a vacuum leak in the locking system. The controller is
probably under the rear seat but if there is a leak it is more likely to be in
the drivers door or trunk.

The interior buzzer may be related an may be caused buy failure if the buzzer
switch in the door or the door may need adjustment to activate the switch correctly.
