Successfully solved and replaced the windows not going down (driver and passenger) when you open-the-door/double beep/red lock light staying on issue.

The driver door lock actuator was replaced with 8N1837015C from UROparts via amazon. Was pretty much plug and play, just had to transfer over the actual lock cable. I had previously purchased the passenger door lock actuator when someone was parting out a Boxster and luckily it worked. It wasn't exactly plug and play, as the OEM actuator has some plastic molding covering the door lock cable - was able to remove the cladding with a Dremel and then transfer over the lock cable.

Overall, probably took a couple of hours per door - the passenger door would've been done quicker, but only after I buttoned everything up did I realize I didn't connect the outside handle back to the lock... so had to take it all apart again.

Definitely all the great info in this forum and the 101 Boxster book helped to make it a great Sunday project.
