I need to replace the window regulator in any case, so fixing this will be part of the same project.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

New 2001. I open the passenger door and the interior lights come on properly ( the switches in the overhead console set to middle position of course). When you open the driver's door - nothing. So searching all around the frame of the door looking for something that looks like a switch or actuator, and can find nothing. Searches on here didn't get me anywhere. Does anyone know what ( a switch or latch of some kind ) makes the interior lights come on, and where is it located on the door or frame? Thanks

POST 2Original post

It's built into the latch that holds the door shut.

POST 3Original post

Agree. There are microswitches inside the door latch mechanism. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-detailed.html

OK, thank you. I suspected this given there were no other obvious devices to be found anywhere. Guess I'll reach for some WD40 as a first shot. I need to replace the window regulator in any case, so fixing this will be part of the same project. Cheers vetfever

Window regulator - mark the glass position and the exact locations of the bottom bolts with a grease pencil. It will save you hours of adjustment time. Door latch - read the thread and make sure you buy the correct XZN bit. They are not a normal bit in your toolbox. I bought a set of XZN bits on Amazon.

Well thank you!. I just got it a week ago. Needs a little sorting out, but I'm a details kind of guy, so it's right up my alley. Some plans include: a modern radio of some kind, tires, removing those rear bumperettes, and I will likely add some stripes - I love stripes...

Here is my 2000 C2 TIP. I bought it in 2021 (BAT) and love it. It's the wheels that do it for me.

Hey Kelvin Awesome - we will connect. I'm switching out the radio and looking for a bin/cubby to insert into the space where the CD holders currently reside. Can't seem to find the company that supplies them? Jack

The company is Porsche. Sorry i dont have the part number but they make a cubby for both of the 2 different shapped slots.

POST 14Original post

You can get it at Suncoast Porsche. Probably Pelican Parts too.

Hard to justify spending $60+ for a hunk of plastic. I imagine that is what a dealer would charge. Pelican might be worth a try

POST 16Original post

9965522530101C Here is the part number. Its around $60. U can try dc auto or la dismantler for used parts.
