Spoiler Won't stay down
My car came stock with Nav but I've had an aftermarket head unit for over a year now. Also I don't have the discs. My stock one stopped reading CDs so I went to a new unit, it's still sitting in a closet though. Good thing I didn't try to sell it yet.
Still having the issue, no speed sensor codes, and it's not a problem with the trunk latch. I'm thinking it's a problem with the switch. How does this switch work to control the motor?
12.6 volts is approx one volt below where it's supposed to be. Should be approx 13.5- 13.8 when running. Our spoiler went up for no reason we thought but it turned out to be low voltage, a new batt solved the problem and it has not come back since. These cars need lots of elec power and strange things happen when power is low.

So problem solved possibly. Battery wasn't the issue from what I've found. I was taking apart the console and had to unplug the switch panel while working on my stereo. I plugged everything back in and made sure it all worked. Then when I was driving my car last night I heard the locks automatically kick in and the spoiler light wasn't blinking! I turned the car off and on a bunch of times and drove around. I haven't gotten it up to 65 yet to test that. But all seems normal again.
What I said was low voltage upon retrospect could have been the BCM body control module beginning to go out. Later symptoms were power windows not working properly, and I now have that. Turns out its most likely the BCM, and I have learned that it is made with parts that wear out after a certain number of hours, hot cold cycles, and of course its very hot in the engine compartment.
I just removed my BCM to have it rebuilt w new components and w a lifetime warranty, I'll get it back next week.
The earliest of our cars are just now turning 10 yrs old and I think we are going to find out that the BCMs will need attention.
