central locking erratic and window drop problem

[tuizner]

Hi

I have a '97 model 2.5 left hand drive boxster manual with alarm.

Recently I noticed that the central locking would operate 3 complete phases (of on / off) when entering the car and today actually twice whilst driving. The red light on the central locking switch is actiavted.

Also, and I think related, the drivers door window does not drop when operating either inside or outside door releases.

This started while I had the hard top in place, but today thinking that it might be the roof microswitch, I took it off and now only have the cabriolet but the problem persists.

The passenger door release microswitches operate the passenger window drop fine.

I am thinking either a faulty central locking switch somewhere (console?) or one of the door microswitches.

Any ideas before I fork out?

Cheers
Mat
