I just got through R&R the door mechanism. another thread "door lock mechanism " has others (myself included) with this problem.
Pelican Parts under the technical article tab has description of the replacement steps.

it appears that most of the problems are with the micro switch(s) inside the door mechanism. For me, it was a cold solder joint of the connector pins inside the door mechanism. Found this out by wiggling the connector. Not an expert, just happen to have fallen into this "pile of mud" one step ahead of you

google "boxster door lock" or "boxster door mechanism" and you will find wealth of info.. photos really helped me

good luck
