- - window issue (http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/30047-window-issue.html)

I have odd problem with my passenger door lock/window. For one when I lift the the outside/inside handle the window does not drop the 10mm its suppose to. The other problem has to do when I manually unlock the car with key on the driver's side door. If I do not put the key in the ignition soon after unlocking the alarm sound goes off making it think the car is being broken into .. Go any suggestions? I know that the window not dropping can be either the inside/outside handle microswitch OEM-99661312300 ...but what is your take on the alarm sounding when I unlock. What microswitch is in control of the lock to tell the alarm that it was unlocked by a key.

According to my handbook, the alarm will activate if the door is opened manually with the key, unless the ignition switch is turned to the first position within 10 seconds of opening, so I guess that's normal. The window issue sounds like a problem, I can't help with that. Maybe someone else can help.
