3. Does anyone know the part number for the door latch microswitch?
4. I cannot replace the microswitch and I need to replace the entire latch mechanism, does anyone know the part number for the passenger-side VW part?
Thanks again for posting this information and thanks in advance for any assistance.

You can purchase the micro switches for the inner and outer door handles but Porsche doesn't sell just the micro switch within the door latch. It does sound like you need a new door latch assembly. I bought genuine Porsche door latches but found this website that talks about combining the boards of your existing door latch with a VW door latch assembly - I personally have not tried this...
