Re: Spoiler light flashing.
Had the "spoiler raised / blinking red light on switch / spoiler would not retract" problem last night.
I decided to try cleaning the latch first with compressed air. (WD-40 might also work.)
After cleaning and re-latching the hatch I was able to retract the spoiler via the switch.
I cannot confirm that cleaning resolved the problem, perhaps closing the hatch yet again played a role, but others in this situation should try cleaning first.
