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

So it could be one of two things, check the brake pedal switch and maybe replace the spoiler down relay (or swap out the up and down relays and see if it makes any difference).

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

A couple of times in the last week, I have noticed that when I park the car, the spoiler is still extended. If I push the button in the footwell, the spoiler retracts just fine. I am getting no errors or warning lights. I have searched, but am unable to find a thread with any solution. The car is an 03 C2 cabrio.

POST 2Original post

The spoiler is programmed into the DME. The DME raises and lowers based on speed. There are two relays in Relay Support Group 2, one for spoiler up and one for spoiler down. I think the manual switch overrides the relay. Also, I think the spoiler retracts when you hit the brakes at low speeds. So it could be one of two things, check the brake pedal switch and maybe replace the spoiler down relay (or swap out the up and down relays and see if it makes any difference). Relay Support Group 2 is located behind the rears seats under the shelf carpet.

OMG, that is awesome! And it's an absolutely identical twin to my car!
