Good evening 996 fans.
Question about a 99(T) C2 Cab spoiler.
I pulled into a supermarket carpack friday night after travelling a few miles at which no point did exceed about 40mph. Got out the car as a walked around the back, the rear spoiler was deployed? How strange! I retracted the switch in the footwell.
The following day I pulled up and again the spoilier was deployed. This time I had not exceed 55mph, again I retarcted it with the switch.
Got home this morning, and the spoiler was retarcted. So why the erractic deployments? So what would cause the spoiler to deploy when I have not exceed the UK national speed limit?
Thanks
Stuart
I had initial thought that.
And as far as I am aware, no.
I have had the car about 7 months, and this is the first time that the spoiler had been and stayed deployed below 75mph.
The only thing I can think are a sensor or control box.
Hi Stuart,
Must admit I have inadvertently caught the switch with my foot a few times & even if you do the speed (75 mph ish) for it to raise automatically, it does not go down once your speed has dropped to the preset 37 mph but remains up until you operate the manual switch!!
At least that's what I found but open to be corrected as I'm new to this too!

I think it must be meant to do it. ive tried turning mine on manually then going above 75 to see if a sensor kicks in then dropped to 37 and it still stays up.
I thought these cars do very strange things e.g. windows, Spoiler. when battery is on its way out, Dead cells etc.
I hate the location of that switch. POINTLESS.
Problem is I don't know whether it should even be switched.
I mean what is the point?.
If I see someone driving round with that up I laugh.
when the ECU does fine, But when the driver does LOL.
Useful for when washing the car and keeping the skirt clean, but that's why the button is there in the footwell. On the dash is only any use for posing.
