window symptoms
OK...maybe two problems, but here are the symptoms:
When I pull the center convertible latch, my windows don't drop, if I lower windows, when I close center top latch, windows close Passenger side, lifting the handle on the outside or pulling the handle on the inside the window doesn't drop 1/4 inch, no noise, no slack to push the window down this leads me to believe the center latch microswitch is working, but why no window drop on open? Lack of noise and slack leads me to believe this isnt the window regulator, or handle microswitch as both would need to be bad? drivers side window works fine with handle to drop windows 1/4 love to hear thoughts and experience @particlewave? Can you save me and anyone else with this? |
My problem was that the window drop was intermittent. The solution was to resolder the connections on the door latch PCB.
Have a look at post #13 or this thread. http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/78235-door-window-not-dropping-properly-%96-troubleshooting-check-list.html |
Why doesn’t the center top latch drop the windows on either side when I pull, but if I have windows open, it closes them when I close the center top latch.
Micro switch must work there. Passenger door might be the classic door latch issue, because it isn’t regulator, or related to my other issue. Thing is, it worked a few months ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

For your other problems... I have done a lot of reading to try and understand my window drop problem and still don't really get how all the pieces work together, but I did get the impression that electronic problems in the latch can cause weird things to happen. The resoldering of contacts in the latch is a cheap (free) repair if you have the door apart - who knows it may help. |

I am converting back to power and pretty sure I have that issue figured out. The window drop is likely the door latch issue common to others since the internal and external handle doesn't do anything and the regulator is tight. once fixed, Ill share what I found. :+) |
I had a similar problem when the cable for my top was broken. There is a micro-switch in the convertible top transmission. If your cable broke without it being able to trip the micro-switch the windows won't drop. Once I got the cable installed and synchronized the windows worked normally.

Fascinating, if this is related to the top transmission, I’m set. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Confirmed the door latch micro switch, it was “disintegrated” no question it failed, visible and metered it. Wide open.
Sigh, looks like a new latch mechanism instead for replacing a 1 dollar micro switch, unless someone has a better idea? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Look through this thread I did... in the attached troubleshooting document there is information on alternative latches for VWs... if you don't have the M535 alarm option.

the microswitch is definitely bad on the door latch, when I inspected it, it fell apart. What was interesting is when I touched the 9 pin connector as I was removing latch, it would actuate windows, back and forth. It must be loose or something, but it looks fine. I think my issue is the connector, but the microswitch was on the way out at this point, Im replacing the latch, hopeful that I can clean and revive the 9 pin connector. Dont want to replace that as well because I will be waiting for part. Also considering the the PCB board connections could be the "connector issue" the M535 option isnt something I looked into, If I source another porsche door latch, are they all the same, or is there a non-M535 door latch out there? I could still swap parts with my orignal, but if this is the case, how do I tell the difference. |
