Thanks,

Actually I did check the relays, I first swapped them for each other which should have reversed the problem (going down but not up), it didn't. I then popped the caps off, cleaned the contacts and then watched them activate (just fine).

The problem is the 12v going to the "up" relay stays on after the button is released...indefinitely, untill I turn the ig. off. Then, switching the key back on, the 12v is gone (to the up relay) and I can then, and only then, use the down button to bring the spoiler down.

Checked the up/down button with a volt meter...fine.

Regards, PK
