Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
I tapped into another switch using a female spade to double male spade connector.
Leading evidence: 'Use female spade' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use female spade' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Hi, does anyone have or know where I can find the How to video of the guy who moved his spoiler switch from the Fuse Panel to the dash? I have seen it but now that I have all the parts assembled I can't find it again. FWIW, 2004 996 C4S Cabriolet. Thanks.
This is on my holiday to-do list and this is what I had bookmarked (although I'll be doing mine a little different);

Very cool & very easy to do. Took me maybe 20 minutes?
Now I just have 2 blank switches left (on the dash). Wish there were more simple things to fill them with.
Thanks for the help guys. I have the switch all wired and I have 2 more questions. Do you guys who have done this mod have to hold the switch in order for the spoiler to move? If I let go, it stops moving. Also, did you guys also wire the lights? The lights are not that important to me, I don't drive the car that much at night. Just curious. Thanks again.
I haven't done the spoiler switch yet but I did do a garage door opener switch with illumination wired in (bottom switch left side. I tapped into another switch using a female spade to double male spade connector.
See bottom right.
Because it's cool to F around with your car! The manual switch was put in the worst possible place one could be. What where the engineers thinking when they designed the 996?
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
