Aaargh my 2007 Porsche Cayman wont start - there's a display on the dash board stating Rear Spoiler Failure. There was an issue a fortnight ago as the battery was completely flat, it was charged and there have been no issues since - is there an easy fix ? And BTW there's also now a 'steering locked' display up too The lights work but neither the front compartment nor rear compartment open automatically Can anyone help ? Thanks Mick

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.

Battery has probably dropped a cell and gone kaput. These cars react very weirdly to low battery voltage (dropping windows etc) I'd get it replaced.
Hi Jimmy - funny you should mention that, the passenger window refused to work after the flat battery but was fixed by a local garage - they said it was a fuse issue. ? They also said they'd cleared out several error codes too I have breakdown cover so it might be worth a call in the morning - thanks for the advice
Looking on Google there are several similar issues on rennlist and other forums. Cannot see a complete resolution though.
Hi Gsewell - battery completely flat now, awaiting home recovery assistance Ever the optimist i'm hoping that once the engine starts that the rear spoiler will sort itself......already sorted out a new battery and fitting hoping that Jimmys advice as above does the trick Thank again Mick
