My 2003 996 drivers side window auto drops correctly upon pulling the inside or outside door handle then it instantly pops back up while door is open upon release of door handle. Drivers side only, no battery issues. I'm thinking micro switch. Any suggestions for further diagnosis? Thanks in advance, Paul

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.

Your problem is in the door open closed switch in the latch, It thinks the door is still closed. Your dome lights are probably immediately going off when the latch is released also. You have to replace the latch assembly as I do not think the switch is supplied separately.
dgmark, I think you are correct and yes, the dome lights go out when latch is released and the door is still open. Thanks, Paul
