If it stays on, then check it deploys without manual override and guess it would be sensor or problem with circuit - not checked but check technical section on this forum.

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, I have the spoiler warning light on the dash but I can operate the spoiler using the button in the fuse box. Any common causes? Thanks

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

To be honest I don't know. I'll get someone to ride in the back tomorrow and look out of the back for me. The handbook says: 'The warning light in the instrument panel lights for a lamp check when ignition is switched on' So perhaps it's normal? It stays on until the car is moving, long after all the other lights go out. That was what worried me.

POST 5Original post

If it is raising and lowering depending on speed, is there a sensor to detect when it is down that is faulty?

POST 6Original post

Mine stays on after engine starts and after other warning lights go out. At some point it goes out after I've driven off - never timed it. If it stays on, then check it deploys without manual override and guess it would be sensor or problem with circuit - not checked but check technical section on this forum.

POST 7Original post

Sounds like normal behaviour to me. As long as it goes out at about walking pace, and doesn't come on when driving, then you don't have a problem.

POST 8Original post

Yes. There are microswitches to sense the top and bottom of the spoiler travel, and the warning light will come on if the spoiler hasn't gone up at speed.

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