Door latch problem or something else?

[CrisZenithBlue]

Hi,

My 2000 base boxster has been doing this for a while but never got around to diagnosing it.

When I open the car by fob or key, the first 2 times I pull the drivers door handle the door doesn't open, only the window drops. The third time's the charm and the door finally opens. It only does this after the door has been locked by fob, key or from the button on the dash. Pulling the inside handle does the same thing after being locked. Once the car is unlocked everything works as it should.. Passenger door works fine.

Its probably not a microswitch since the window drops so im thinking latch. Wonder if its something I can fix on the latch or need to get a used working one?

Let me know your thoughts please, I figure it's only a matter of time until it fails completely.

Thanks,

Cristian
