Default Spoiler not going back down.

New to owning a Crossfire, appreciate any help. I have owned my 05 Crossfire Roadster for about 1500 mi and the spoiler has always worked great. When I drove it out of the garage today, the spoiler was in the up position. I know it was not in that position when I put it away last as I would have noticed when I put the cover on.
Did I hit something when starting it that made the spoiler go up?
Can I get the spoiler to go backdown somehow?
Is there a fuse that controls spoiler function?

Thanks

A weak battery will cause the spoiler to rise when starting your car
What is your battery voltage when not running and not just driven ?
How old is your battery ?
Are your connections clean on the battery posts and on the negative ground cable attached to your fender ?

Also to answer part of your question, there is a button to manually raise and lower the spoiler.

If you don't have an owner manual, you can download it here for free.

Thank you for your reply. I have a new battery and all connections are tight, but obviously the spoiler did come up when starting this time. It took a couple of tries to get it to work, but I was able to use the button on the dash to lower the spoiler. As I may have further problems until I get the issue resolved, here is another, hopefully not too dumb question. Does the convertible top function (lower and raise) with the spoiler in the raised position?

Yes the top will function with the spoiler up

I also have a roadster and I've been making posts about all of the maintenance and repairs I've been doing.
You might find them useful. They are located at the bottom of the first page of my thread.
