Default Re: Rear Spoiler Malfunction

140,627 mile mark:

I was sitting in traffic today and I heard the spoiler motor running. It was confusing because I was maybe doing.....3mph? So I looked down and the button light was indeed flashing. I've had no damage or failures elsewhere on the car to trigger this. Also, the battery is less than a year old, and when this occurred, I immediately queried the OBDII for any fault codes...nothing. The car is also reporting 12.4-12.6v from the battery while operating. I did happen to look down at my phone when I turned the car off and saw the voltage to be 11.6v however, after I turned off the car. I'm not sure if that is completely accurate, so I will be checking that with a meter tonight. I will keep you guys posted on how this develops and what I do to fix it. Will also be searching the forum some more.

Edit: After all this, I took the car up to high speed to see if the alarm was triggered like so many others have reported...but not a sound from that.
