There should be a manual switch on the fuse box in the kick plate near the driver's right (in UK) foot. I bought my box used and there was a hole there, but no switch. I had one installed. As for why yours doesn't automatically go down, that probably has to do with the speed-sensitive switch that puts it up at about 70 and back down at about 48mph.

There is no speed sensitive switch on the spoiler. The DME extends/retracts the spoiler based on info it receives from the speed sensors mounted at each wheel.

There is however a separate relay for extending and retracting the spoiler and these are located in the aux relay panel in the trunk (boot to those in the empire).

:cheers:
