So I just bought my Crossfire a week ago and absolutely love it! But starting two days ago and continuing up until now the spoiler seems to have developed a mind of it's own? When i hit that 59mph mark it will automatically deploy and retract at 37mph as it should. However if I manually deploy it the button will blink red and won't allow me to retract. But if go back outside 1-2 hours later it will let me retract it manually. Now I live in northern Wisconsin and it is cold, could this be a culprit? Also the traction control kicks in and out a lot because of the snow. Not sure if this means anything just want to cover all of the bases. Thanks for any and all suggestions!

 

well i have heard that if the battery voltage is off the wing can deploy on start up. it happens to me sometimes when it is colder maybe check battery or search wing deploys automatically and see what happens.

 

So it will manually deploy but not retract? That's a new one. I would caution that if it stays deployed for more than four (4) hours you should consult a physician.

 

Yeah I was awfully confused, but now it is not retracting period, whether it deploys automatically or manually. I just checked the battery though and it appears to be the original, so 8 years old so I should probably get that checked out

 

Start with the battery - sounds like you need a new one regardless.

 

I just took the Crossfire to both O'reilly and Advanced Auto here in town and the battery is rated at 540 cold cranking amps and 12.86 volts and my battery tested at 525 cca and 12.84V so i don't think that's it, anybody else have any thoughts?

 

In the past I have read several postings about the toggle switch being defective. Possibly the contacts in the switch are stuck like you are constantly pushing the switch to the up position?

IIRC, by disconnecting the switch, the wing should operate normal, telling you the switch is causing the problem. Also a bad "limit down switch" could keep the wing from being lowered.

 

Thanks James, i'll take a look at that tomorrow an dpost my results!
