Help with Boxster Window Behavior
nsteurs replied to jaychadwick's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks for the reply. I tried 're-training' the window as you suggested and it didn't make any difference. Also the microswitch appears to be working OK too as the I can hear it clicking when the door handle is pulled and the window does drop while the handle's lifted. The problem is that the window doesn't stay 'dropped' when I let go of the door handle with the door open - it goes right back up again which makes closing the door with the roof up a bit tricky... I also noticed last night that the interior light doesn't come on when I open that door - this makes me think more it is the car not 'knowing' that the door is open (ie. window goes back up when I let go of the door handle and the interior light not coming on). The interior light works just fine if I open the passenger door (the passenger window also stays 'dropped' with the door open), so I know its good. Anyone know how this car 'knows' the door is open (ie. to keep the window dropped and turn the interior light on), or which wires are involved in all this so that I can check out? Is there a switch or something that tells the car that the door is open, that I can't find? Thanks again. -

Hi, Did you get to the bottom of this problem with your window not staying down??? I have exactly the same problem on my driver's door ('97 986 2.5, UK model); the window drops fine when either the internal or external door handle is lifted, but as soon as you release the handle with the door open, the window goes straight back up again - it won't stay down when the door is open. I think the car doesn't "know" that the door is open. Funny thing is, maybe one time in every 100 or so it will work fine and stay down... :huh: Does anyone know the mechanics of how the window 'knows' that the door is open, that I can check? Also does anyone know which wires are involved (or better have a wiring diagram) so that I can check if there's any dodgy or loose connections? Any help much appreciated! Cheers.
