My replacement door latch assembly won't arrive until Tuesday or Wednesday. In the interim, I am continuing to study the replacement procedure and I found this video of a 996 owner with a similar problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGbdWAljIJM
I hope that I can fix my problem for less money. Right now, I've spent about $7 or an 8mm triple square socket, $32 for the VW door latch assembly and $31 for the door-handle microswitch. (I'm wondering whether I wasted money on the microswitch.)
