Boxster door window and light problem
We are having a problem with the window not lowering and the courtesy lights not working when passenger door is opened. All lights come on and the driver's window lowers when the driver's door is opened. I have pulled the passenger door panel and checked the switch with a meter (checks good). Also tried jumper at plug on door.
I would really appreciate any advice and sharing of how to proceed. This is on our 2000 Boxster. Thanks for your help. |

I left out some info in my first post about my testing.
Both switches on the passenger door check good. Both windows lower with console button and also lower when top is lowered. Both door lights come on when the driver's door is opened. Driver's window lowers and raises as it should when opening the door. Is the door latching mechanism wiring in this circuit in some way? I know this subject has a large number of threads and everyone has probably lost interest. This is my grandson's first car and we both work on it as far as we are able. It is a learning experience for both of us. Thanks for any help. |

Looks like the switch on the door latch is not operating. There seems to be some wear and the cam is not actuating the switch. We have ordered a new latch mechanism.

The door latch was the problem. Replaced with new one. Interior lights and window work fine now.

Similar problem as the one I had. The driver's side window wasn't dropping the 1/4" when you opened the door or closed it. I tried replacing the microswitch, but no joy. When I replaced the door latch mechanism, that solved the problem.
