Spoiler Won't Operate at Speed
Noticed this the other day after a high speed run, while I couldn't actually visually see if the spoiler was up, (I am not going to try to stand up and look at the back of my car at 100mph), I did not have a dash light indicating that the spoiler was up. When I got home I manually raised the spoiler and it functioned fine, light on dash came on as designed.
So, what would prevent the spoiler from operating while driving? |
are you taking about the instrument cluster light? AFAIK, that light should only come on when there is a malfunction preventing the spoiler from raising.

Ok, your are right, no light with manual operation. Guess it's time for another quick trip, I will have someone do a visual. |
Find an east/west road, drive east and watch your shadow ;)
Or, if the sun is too high in the sky, wait until closer to sunset and do it heading south or south east. |

The way I checked it was by putting a thin piece of tape between the spoiler and trunk. Go out for a drive and when you come back, check if the tape has broken. painter's tape works fine.

I see the spoiler up in the cars shadow all the time, which is why I suggested it ;) |
Hold your cell phone up and take a picture. Just hand on to it tight. ;)

It works, passed a shiny black X5 at speed and it was up. Phew...
