Spoiler is stuck in up position
 

Hi, I just bought a used 2005 crossfire troday and on my ride home the spoiler came up. I thought it was kool at first, until I discovered that it won't go down and, my top won't come down now also... I hear an alarm every time I press the top down button. I have heard of manually bringing the spoiler down but I do not know how to do it. I don't even know where to begin...no manual. Any help will be appreciated.

go to the main FORUM page of this site...then down to C-I-C-C-I (Crossfire International Car Club Inc) >>CICCI Technical Documentation Collection >>Crossfire Technical Documentation Collection >> Crossfire Technical documentation there you will find manual for you car. Save it to your desktop...it will come in handy SO SO many times. A lot of times when things start to go "quirky" on a Crossfire it needs a battery. Like the spoiler going up...windows not going down...gremlins....The battery in our cars is VERY important...search this site for the best kind to get...don't scrimp on a battery...best of luck with your car! I've had my 2005 base coupe for 9 years and have 154,000 miles on him...I love my car as much as I did the day I bought it! :)

I'd like to add my two cents about batteries. First, Bloo is right, these cars will give you FITS at times over the battery.

But I don't buy a "Good" (expensive) battery. When I got my car in 2010, I bought it a nice, new $88 battery. Oh, sure, it met the CCA specs - but it was the cheapest I could find. WHY?

Because most of us buy the most expensive, best one out there - then feel compelled to "get out money's worth from it". And due to that, we end up stranded by a bad, old battery. I buy the cheapest that meets specs and change it every 3-4 years. I do NOT wait for it to let me down - and trust me, sometimes it goes farther than the spoiler acting weird. SOMETIMES, funny stuff happens and we spend $250 on diagnostics that go no where. THEN we change the battery and the problems go away - all for the price of a damn battery.

Just my two cents......

Hey, what was wrong with the top not working?
