outside of the car is when it wont lock, inside while driving is when I have the problems with the lights, when using outside handle the window goes right back up but on inside I think it works normally.

don't take me on my word, but it looks like the one on the external lever is the one in fault.

Thank you for the offer, the shop in town quoted me $370 eek. I've never been good with working on cars and stuff but I happen to know another mechanic from Porsche and he agreed to help me install the $50 part myself. Before I order this I noticed the doors are loose, like I can lift them a little with the handle while open. Maybe this is the problem? It does explain the lights going on and off with bumps in the road. I'm going to call the local shops and see how much it would cost to just tighten them since I have no access to the hex tool in the awkward slot it is in.
