2001 Boxster passenger window not dropping
 

My 2001 Boxster passenger side door window is not dropping using either inside or outside door handle. Window drop when opening or closing convertible top works fine. Window operates fine using the console switch. I have replaced the window drop microswitch and it still doesn't drop. What is the next thing to go after, regulator or door lock mechanism? I have no reason to suspect the regulator and know there are microswitches built into the door lock. Help, please!

You need to look at it with a scan tool that can show you if the car is recognizing the activation of the latch or the handle switch.

Jeff, thanks for your response. Unfortunately I have no access to a scan tool. Any other tests or suggestions?
Thanks, Warren

FYI, the problem turned out to be the door lock mechanism.

I have the same problem ,but with drivers window. Power window switch on console works fine . Window doesn’t drop 1/4 inche so door can be opened or closed. Should I replace the window drop down micro switch first before changing lock mech?

same thing
 

my passenger side is doing the same, it will drop bout a eight inch and with handle pulled i can push window down rest of way,don't know if its a binding problem or what
got a new switch from pelican but it was for right side,pugged it in anyway and didnt make a difference

that switch they sent was for driver side srry

gkeller: I had the same issue with my 2001 Boxster S... replaced the window regulator and remedied the problem.
