Read evidence and context

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.

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 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi folks, Have any of you ever experienced a rear spoiler that fails to retract automatically. I drove to work this morning and all was well, the spoiler raised as usual, but when I stopped it failed to retract, had a quick look under the lid and all the wires seem in place but wasn't really sure what I was looking for. The spolier did retract when I used the button on the dash. Any ideas? Cheers, Percy. (1996 993 C4) Migration info. Legacy thread was 16806

POST 2Original post

Percy, I believe that this can happen if you accidently press the spoiler button when the spoiler is up and your below the 58mph (or whatever the exact speed is). The controller then puts it in to manual mode and if you stay below the limit it won't retract it when you go below 8mph. Did you for example use the sunroof this morning and accidently press the wrong button, albiet for a second? Best thing to prove that this was the cause, is to take the car out at lunch time for a blast, make sure you go over the limit, ensuring the spoiler raises. Then stop and see if it has retracted.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Gatekeeper, that may be it as the fuel light came on and I pressed the ! button and may have pressed the spoiler button by mistake. Will check later. Cheers Migration info. Legacy thread was 16810
