Default spoiler comes up automatically.

I have a 2005 limited. Every time i start the car the rear spoiler comes up. i have closed it until it beeps, but the next time I start the car it does it again. It functions normally at 65 and goes back down at 35, but it will come up upon every restart. Any thoughts or suggestions?

YUP !!! James is absolutely correct here
You need a new battery or at least a deep charge to the one you have
This is the #1 thing that happens when we have low battery voltage

Those Varta batteries were fantastic, let's hope we replace them with batteries that are just as good.

There are some batteries that have the actual height of the OEM battery and some that require a piece of rubber under the clamp to make up the gap.
The two Interstates mentioned here are good, one requires packing up and one does not.
Try and get one that does not require packing if you can. Measure you battery and look for one the same height.
