I have trawled the internet, and saw something about a disconnect battery reset, codes needing to be cleared.

Now, the warning light on the dash is always illuminated, it will raise automatically, but will only lower after switching off ignition, back on again, then using the manual switch.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

Hi. Ive had my 1998 C2 for a couple of years now, and its been generally reliable. However, recently, the rear spoiler has been frustrating me. It has always raised and lowered automatically, no issues. Now, the warning light on the dash is always illuminated, it will raise automatically, but will only lower after switching off ignition, back on again, then using the manual switch. I have dismantled the mechanism, and found all three micro switches appear to work with a simple open and closed circuit test. I was convinced one would be at fault. I have trawled the internet, and saw something about a disconnect battery reset, codes needing to be cleared. Can anyone shed any light on this problem?

POST 2Original post

Diagram below and youll need to pin out the wiring to the relays and at the instrument cluster for both the up and down position .. basically see whats missing at either the relays or the cluster and go from there . Its a pretty basic system so i doubt theres any software that would cause this other than coding off .. in which case it will do nothing . If it was me id probably start by swopping the up and down relays for known good ones before continuing. Micro switches are the normal cause though .

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Spoiler Thank you. I will reassemble everything and start by looking at the relays. Very helpful Paul

POST 4Original post

Its been a while young man .. you should drop in more often

POST 5Original post

Iain is there a way to alter the spoiler deployment speeds? I.E get it to lift automatically at lower speeds?

POST 6Original post

If possible prefer the spoiler to deploy at 90mph rather than 75mph. Less obvious to bib.

POST 7Original post

The speed is determined by software in either the DME or instrument cluster with cluster being the more obvious one , its not something we can see or alter with a tester im afraid .

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
