Having come from a 993, I was expecting to find a button to manually raise/lower the spoiler. Not the case for a 996 C4S cab?

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.

Button by your right ankle ?
POST 3Original post
As above, it's not on the dash it's down by the fuse panel near your right ankle.
POST 4Original post
Quite a few of us wire another button in parallel on the dashboard, if you have spare button slots. I can't remember where I got the kit from now, but should be easy enough to search for.

I think I got mine from Design911. It's sat on the shelf waiting for me to wire it in
POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Cheers guys. I do indeed have a spare button on the dash so may look into that. Is it in the footwell to stop people crashing the hood mechanism into the spoiler or something?
POST 8Original post
No, its there as its not required whilst (normally) operating the car so doesn't have to be ergonomically placed.
POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
I'm not sure on that logic - surely it's no less required than it was on a 993...
POST 10Original post
So why did they have it on the 993? Does it not operate automatically when driving?
POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Yes, deploys automatically in in the 993 in just the same way as the 996. That's why I'm wondering why the manual over-ride didn't stay on the dash. Is it in the footwell in a 996 coupe?
POST 12Original post
Yes.
POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
So the button is on the dash for a 993, a 996 turbo and a 997 but not a NA 996. Answers on a postcard...!

It's a gimmick only to be used when you wanna wash round it or a fit bird pulls up behind you at the lights.

...that!
