I later ran across a much cheaper fix somewhere on the forum, so if you do have a faulty switch, poke around the forum for the fix.

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.

10 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 1Original post

'06 Boxster S The spoiler deploys at 75+ mph however the button on the dash will not deploy it while parked. I have not dug into it yet but am looking for suggestions.

POST 2Original post

Are you just pressing it or are you holding it down? If you are parked, you need to hold it down until it is deployed.

POST 3Original post

OK. Will try that in the morning. Just what I was looking for...

POST 4Original post

Yeah, as I recall you have to hold it down for maybe 3 or 4 seconds, and I think the switch then lights up. Maybe it lights up when you first push it - don't recall as I never use it. When I bought my used Cayman the switch was not working, and I ended up having it replaced at the Porsche dealer for something like $200. I later ran across a much cheaper fix somewhere on the forum, so if you do have a faulty switch, poke around the forum for the fix.

POST 5Original post

As soon as you push the button, it lights up but you must hold the button to raise the wing. To lower the wing, push and hold the button until the light turns off.

POST 6Original post

Mine goes up automatically at 77mph and down at 52mph. Thought it suppose to be 75mph and 50mph.

POST 7Original post

The indicated speed on the dash speedometer is intentionally padded by Porsche to be inaccurate and always read high. It's funny; if you pull the speed directly from the OBDII port, it's different from what's shown on the dash and very close to true speed (as measured by GPS & measured mile). Your spoiler probably actually is going up at 75mph, it's your speedometer that's wrong.

POST 9Original post

Look at the dates on the post. You are replying to a discussion from 5 1/2 years ago by an OP that hasn't logged into the site since

POST 10Original post

Well I'm only 71, so I do make occasional errors. And sometimes my terminal cancer interferes with logic. Sorry
