Question Windows & Locks Inop

Back story first. '97 986. I replaced the Immobilizer/Central Control last year and have a spare matched to the DME. Everything worked 100%. I put the car under cover w/ a Battery Maintainer in November for winter. Kid unplugged the maintainer and the battery went dead. I recharged the battery and placed back on the maintainer. The Battery and Alternator both check good.

Now: Neither the Locks nor Windows Operate properly

Windows:
No Drop on Door Open, both inside & outside handles, both doors, relays do click
No Drop to Open Top, Top operates perfectly
Courtesy drop w/ key in door does not work
Center Console Switches do not work, relays do click and lights dim.

Locks:
Dash Switch has no effect
Fob, "Lock, unlock, beep, beep", no security flasher
With Key, locks and unlocks properly, no activation of security system.

Courtesy lights work. Fuses C3 & D1 check good. A Pillar Connection Checks Good. I hooked up both known good immobilizers with no effect. I highly doubt both door latch switches would go bad at the same time.

Could it be the window microswitch in the Top Latch?

Thoughts, Ideas, Tips, Tricks, Etc. Please & Thank You

Update 3/26/22: Replaced Top Latch Microswitch Assembly. No effect. Two new door latch assemblies arrived this week. Replacing those 2nd week in April. I loathe troubleshooting by throwing parts at a problem hoping one of them will "fix" it.
