Most of the functions for the door go though the window switch box so I'm betting like on e53, water got in and caused corrosion and is the source of the problem. I'm not sure why passenger side gets power when car is off but likely to turn on the welcome light when the handle is tugged.
There is virtually no chance of a fix without opening the door but that process is not terrible. Use an extending break off razor knife with 3-4" exposed to cut through the goo adhesive and a heat gun to soften to reactivate when putting back together.
One "duh" method to kill the pet l power drain is to remove the lamp but can you do from outside or do you have to pull the door panel anyhow?

Thanks for this.
Good question. I'm hoping somebody would chime in that has replaced that the Door handle As I would like to keep it original or if there's a fix like a new lamp or taking it apart and cleaning and then using some silicone for protection from corrosion or even modifying with a protective cover so the water drips elsewhere… dunno
If I'm gonna go in there I would certainly want to fix it rather than make it not work. Whether that's completely replacing the door handle or trying to fix it and/or modify it so it stays fixed is the challenge...
