Today my spoiler did not deploy at speed. I manually deployed, but later it would not retract unless I held the button down until it retracted fully. The minute I let off the button, it went right back up. It stayed retracted only when I turned off the engine while holding the button down. Just prior to this I had a guy bypass the seat module so my power seats would work again.
At the same time, the radio would not shut off after the ignition was turned off.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
A wire in the seat relay is live all the time, there are two diodes in the relay to stop power going down the wrong circuit. Is it possible that power is going down the wrong circuits and causing your problems? A diode in my relay failed and the seats would only operate one way.
My first step would be to repair or replace the seat relay and go from there.
