Default Re: BAS/ESP and ABS lights on & a spoiler on Viagra

Yesterday, I am driving around and all of a sudden I hear a sound I have not heard in months, the spoiler motor. Out of nowhere the lights on the dash go out and the spoiler retracts while I am going approx 30 down the street. I continue to drive the car normally and spoiler stays down/lights off. I go into the store and when I come back out, spoiler up again. (I had no idea it would raise with the car off)

The fact that this happened makes me worry. Does anyone know for sure that the ABS + BAS/ESP modules store error codes?? I am considering paying the $100 for the stealership to pull the code, but worry that may not lead me anywhere except having $100 less in my pocket.

If anyone has any more suggestions, I am more than willing to entertain aything plausible at this point in time. I need to put this spoiler down!
Do I remember a thread where a car had all sorts of problems like this and he had water in the trunk well where the locking system pump sits.
The air/vacuum pump was in water and shorted things out. I think the locks still worked.
The well is on the passenger side and you can see the bottom of the well between the foam tray and the trunk wall, on mine you can anyway.
This guy promised photos but never bothered when he fixed the problems.
