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

so I just bought a complete boot lid with aerokit spoiler for my 996 gen2 I'm told a straight forward swap. it comes tomorrow.we'll see! I am hoping the connector for the fan (that also actuates the active spoiler - which the aerobat doesn't have) just plugs in. I am wondering too what will happen when I go over 75 - will the 'spoiler not deployed' light come on? has anyone here fitted one of these to theirs?

POST 2Original post

I think there is a fuse you can remove. Mine was fitted as a standard

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

OK all fitted. straight forward swap. no issues. Came with a blanking plate to go over the rear brake light. The spoiler light comes on for a few seconds after starting engine so after that it goes out so no problem.

POST 4Original post

Hi Tomc I have just purchased a GT2 wing for my 996 did you need a special harness to de activate the rear spoiler ??? Best regards Simon

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

my new wing is fixed so no issue with worrying about raising. the harness that came with the wing just plugged straight into the existing socket that the old wing/harness plugged into. this is to power the brake light in the wing. the old second brake light in the boot is covered with a blanking panel

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Note: fitting my wing was very easy since I bought a complete boot lid with wing. Salvaged I presume from a wrecked car So I just unbolted the 4 hinge bolts and swapped

POST 7Original post

ok mine is a replacement wing and I need to cancel the standard deck spoiler from raising at 75mph without upsetting the fans regards Simon

POST 8Original post

There is a separate wiring harness available for the Aerokit rear spoiler, which connects the 3rd brake light and engine compartment cooling fan. It also disables the spoiler warning light on the dash. Part Number 996.612.070.51 @ £70.39 +VAT. However, if you Google, you should be able to find threads on other forums which show the changes you need to make on the standard bootlid loom to sort out the spoiler light issue.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

not sure the light is really an issue. it goes off after a engine runs for a few seconds

POST 10Original post

Yes light comes on at 75mph as I have left the plug disconnected only trouble is this powers fans and engine bay light cheers simon

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Its more important to have the fans working than disabling a red light!!
