Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Last night after the game, when I tried to open the passenger door, I noticed that the window didn't do the "auto-drop", it also doesn't auto-drop from the inside either. Window functions normally with the switch and goes down when I open the top latch as well. So I'm thinking the micro-switch has bought the ghost... Opinions & ideas?

Are you sure it's not dropping just a little bit? I had the same issue, exactly like yours, but my window moved just a tiny bit, it was the passenger side too.
This is what fixed it.

Ok, so I got a chance to dig into the door panel today to do a bit of troubleshooting, the switch is fine, turns out I have faulty wire or connector in the door harness that is either open or shorting out near the door latch. Wiggling the harness near where the connector for the switch and the main door harness come together caused all kind of havoc with the window and the door light. I'm thinking I have an open wire somewhere or a bad connector.
My passenger side window (2002 Boxster Base U.S. model) does not go down when I open the door using the outside or internal door handle. It does function correctly using the window switch or when I use use the convertible top up/down.
I also notice at times my dash lock switch LED flickers off and on once in a while but not consistent.
The part is a harness with the switch included. Is this the correct part to order from Pelican Parts? I didn't want to link their photo due the copyright warnings. Thanks fellas.
