Can spoiler be disabled easily
Re: Can spoiler be disabled easily
Yes, just pull the fuse.
Or you can install a kill switch in place of the fuse, and run the wire into the interior. Then just turn it off. When ever you feel the need for it, just flip the switch and it will go up at 65 mph like it's supposed to.
Personally I don't think the spoiler is necessary until the audible warning sounds off at 95 mph. I think Chrysler just chose 65 MPH for it to go up simply because in the land where 65 MPH is the norm in most states, if it didn't go up until it was really needed, then nobody would ever get to see it.

And just pull the fuse - then when you get above 90, you'll hear the beep telling you it's still down!

Whoa! That's at LEAST half the fun when driving an NA I've had (as most people here probably have) drivers speed up to take a picture, and if I'm driving with one of my kids I'll be like, "Deploy the Spoiler!"..which results in more picture taking...but I'm a big kid. 2004 Silver Blue 6spd Coupe. Annnnd.....Loving it!

I can prove it, next time a fuse blows and keeps blowing, just replace the fuse with a big jumper wire.
You'll see smoke!

3/16" Cu rod is made for a reason, you know...
Re: Can spoiler be disabled easily
I'm no electrician, but even I know when ever you're fooling around with an elecrical appliance (in this case the spoiler's motor) you need to use a fuse.
I must apologize to all those forum members out there I assumed had some common sense.

I installed the wires to the kill switch in the space where the spoiler motor's fuse was located. I have an "in-line" fuse between the fuse box and the kill switch that's in the interior.

Re: Can spoiler be disabled easily
You may be right....but I recall a conversation I had with Eric Stoddard (creator) this past August, about how bad the Crossfire was in early wind tunnel tests. He mentioned how important both the spoiler and rear diffuser were in managing the rear end at speeds of 60+. He went on to mention that both work together and one without the other was asking for trouble....
You mean the one we had to buy separately? And you can no longer get?
That "rear diffuser"?
Re: Can spoiler be disabled easily

Re: Can spoiler be disabled easily
weird question , can i deactivate the audible warning for 95 mph? previous owner installed an srt6 wing on the car, over the motorized spoiler, (spoilerception, wingception) i know , but when i do go over 95 the sound is quite annoying , since the fuse is pulled, the light warns me its gone "wrong' then the warning , any thoughts? (and no im not driving that fast on public roads... often )

Try applying ground ( earth ) to pin 28 of connector 4 on the body control module ( BCM ).
This will tell it that the spoiler is in the 'UP' position.
( or connect the brown/gray wire to the brown wire in the harness where the old spoiler switch was )

Just be sure to make a simple diagram of whatever you mod and put it in with the car wherever it goes. The next owner or a tech might need the info to 'fix' the original back to OEM.
