Default Door window drop problem

Hi all, I have read a lot of threads and seen the videos for regulator replacement, BUT I am not sure what actually needs replacing as my 'problem' seems different to others :

It's just on the drivers door
  1. With the door closed the drivers window works perfectly with opening and closing
  2. When the door handle is pulled the window drops every time
  3. When the door is open the window goes back up and often juts oscillates with no interaction, dropping and raising with no input
  4. every time the inner handle is used of the outer handle is used the window drops but as soon as you release either if the door is open the window raises
I am unsure what sensor is failing as the ladles seem to be informing correctly every time they are operated. It's something else that is problematic with no input and the door open, any ideas ?

The car is a Nov 2011 997.2 3.6 Carrera Uk spec

Most likely the door latch, there is a switch that is part of the assembly that tells the car that the door is open.

LOL, door latch mech, sensor is inside. I've got one on order . . . fairly good deal at Suncoast

Messes with the alarm and interior lights - the car cannot sense the door is open.

Sounds like an easy, but awkward, DIY. I'll let you know!

Yep, this. Sounds like the exact same issue as the recent post on Facebook (likely same guy?) where I said it was the microswitch in the door latch.

I think it might be this part https://www.design911.com/p/micro-switch-99761312502/ and it's £30 something from Porsche themselves, possible that the switch is not working properly when depressed and perhaps sending the wrong intermittent signals ?

PS it's not me on Facebook, as I don't use Facebook !
