This is not a probability of success.

I have read over other threads, I'm So lost on solving my issue, I removed the spoiler assembly, put power on the poster and it works, my relays work when tested with a multimeter, I have pulled the plug on the manual switch and used a jumper wire, nothing, no click from relay.

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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have read over other threads, I'm So lost on solving my issue, I removed the spoiler assembly, put power on the poster and it works, my relays work when tested with a multimeter, I have pulled the plug on the manual switch and used a jumper wire, nothing, no click from relay. I don't understand how the system works, I'm at the point of giving up as I'm out of my depth on what to check.

I don't understand what you mean by "put power on the poster and it works". Do you mean the motor? Did the spoiler work before? If so what has changed since it last worked? As already mentioned check the fuse. If possible try another relay,

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