2001 Boxster S Driver Window Malfunction

[Skibum]

I did not find anything on the forum that seemed to be related, so here is my issue:

When I start to open my drivers side door, the window retracts as it should, but as soon as you release the handle with the door open, the window goes back up. If you try to close the door with the window up, it gets ugly...

Passenger door seems OK

Possibly related: sometimes after I exit the car the lights do not shut down

sometimes I'd swear that wiggling the key helps.

sometimes I swear that shutting the door a few times succeeds in turning off the interior lighting.

I have had the key switch replaced about 2 years ago.

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks

most likely it's the latch micro sw. there are many related topic in here.

what happens when U pull the inside handle?

[Skibum]

When I pull the inside handle the window goes down, but even with the door open as soon as I release the handle the window returns to full up.

Thanks for the info.

Expensive little repair..

[Skibum]

You guys were indeed correct on the door mechanism being the issue.

The price for the repair here on the east coast is a bit more reasonable.

Total cost $282 including installation. :)

While there I also had my rims refinished. They did a spectacular job.

I'd highly recommend Automotive Associates of Canton, Ct.

What a great shop!

Thanks for all the help.
