Question '04 Spoiler "no workie"

Good evening folks,


After replacing the stereo tomorrow, my next repair is the rear spoiler. I have tried to research "spoilers" but only found threads on STR's and folks looking for replacements.
Anyhow .... My O4' Coupe rear spoiler well .....It won't engage. I have checked and replaced the fuses...but still nothing. If it's a solenoid or motor ... then how would one raise the wing to get to the solenoid ?

Has this happened to you ?
If so, what was the problem ?
Where you able to R & R it yourself ?

Can Ya, help a Brother out ?

Remove the inner hatch panel to access the wing assy. Remove the bolts and it can be removed.

Did you remove the trim panel on the inside of the hatch as I stated in my first post?

No. No Sir, I did not .... I am terrible at following directions which may or may not have had anything to do with an adult beverage or two that I may or may not have had while sitting on my porch attempting to online trouble shoot ... :-D

Florida 13, You have to remove the trim pieces on the inside of the hatch. There is a screw under the cover in the handhold. Pop off the lower panel. Next are 2 screws holding the upper panel in place.

Info for repairing your spoiler motor micro switches is on this post:

Removal of the NA spoiler has its own PDF file showing you how to get it off.
CLICK
The use of silicone as a seal is not to be recommended as you would not be able to get the spoiler off again if anything went wrong again, the use of silicone would be a very bad idea.
The seal used originally is a cause of a lot of leaks in this area, how to seal it properly is in another PDF made for the SRT6 spoiler leak fix.
