In the "B Version" top transmissions Boxsters (i.e., 2000 and later), the transmissions are 360 degree gears, unlike the earlier versions that had "half-moon" gears". Inside the driver's side transmission in the B Versions, one of the two microswitches is the one that "tells" the "top open" light to go on and to go off.
If you manage to rotate the V-levers with the electric motor (now that you have access to the electric motor), you should be able to get the light to go out.
Testing the electric motor would be the best place to start to try to diagnose the source of the problem.
