Default Re: Rear Spoiler Malfunction

I found this while looking through the forum. It might be a helpful explination for those who have had this happen and it "cured" itself. I won't know until this evening when it's time to drive home.

The spoiler will remain deployed and the warning light in the spoiler switch will blink until the vehicle is restarted. IF the spoiler continues to deploy in this fashion below the normal deployment speed, see you authorized dealer.
