Does your wing rise at any speed? If so, what speed?

First, welcome to the forum Enzio ! Your home for "Perma-Grin Support" ! As for your wing, mine deploys around 67mph. Wish I could tell ya exactly what controls at what speed these things deploy, but I'm sure someone here on the forum has the answer ! Try doing a Search, I know this has probably been discussed before.
Again, Welcome !

When I had my '04 Coupe the wing would deploy at 59-60 and retract just under 40. Make sure you hold the retract button down until you hear it beep. That means it is all the way down and back in auto mode. Hope that works for you.

Do you notice a red light flashing on the button that manually raises and lowers the wing? This light should come on the very first time you go over 62 mph to warn you that your wing is malfunctioning, and continue "blinking" until you turn the car off. If it isn't coming on when it should, maybe this could give a "trained" Crossfire Tech some idea where the problem is. Or at least help them to narrow down the possibilities.
Obviously it isn't something as easy as replacing a fuse, since you can raise and lower it manually.
There are 25 pages in the service manual under "BODY-Electrical Diagnostics" dedicated just to spoiler malfuctions. So I really couldn't begin to tell you where to start.
Actually, some people would be happy if their spoiler didn't go up unless they wanted it to. I even installed a "kill" switch to deactivate my wing just to keep it down until I felt the time was right to put it up.
Good Luck, and by the way, welcome to the forum.
Mike

Thanks for the input guys...It used to work just fine, it would go up at around 60 and retract at about 35..when I key up the ignition I get a red light for about a second ... if I raise it manually then lower it I get a audible when it fully retracts but no red light...I didn't notice the red light flashing, when I was going about 70 ... I tried to cycle thru it when I was just parked hoping it just reset itself..no big deal if I have to control it,I just want it to work properly...I already have problems with the seat heaters(really no need here in AZ. really need a/c flowin thru the seats.. )
