Default Rear spoiler help.

I got my Crossfire 2 weeks ago. Had great weather yesterday and took it out. The spoiler was working perfectly but then stayed up. While reading post about it I see a lot of people recommend changing battery. I have checked fuse and it was good. Tried to use manual but but noting. The red light on button does not come on. And it doesn't seem like when I push bottom of button that it is pushing in at all(is this normal). So should I go get a battery, disconnect battery and retry it, or try charging battery. Any help would be appreciated.

Any warning lights on? Any faults in speed sensors/abs will cause it to raise. I believe that is because the car can't be sure how fast you are going and goes into the safest position.

Mine just came up when I turned the car on. Would go down with button but come right back up again. After idling for a few minutes could make it go down and stayed down.


Battery seems fine but had not driven for about a week.

The switch is a self centering rocker switch as I recall and thus should go in at the bottom to put it down if it is up.

Was it the battery for sure? I've had my crossfire for about two weeks now. Spoiler has been working fine. Same issues that you were having. Car starts right up no problem, no other issues at all. No light at all on the Spoiler control button. It was working fine a few days ago!

Was driving it yesterday, spoiler came up as normal. Now won't come down.

Thanks.

Sure sounds like it to the rest of us. You know, those of us who have been an owner for (in my case) three cars over seven years.
