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).

it only happens when the wife takes it out i can only assume she catches the button with her foot.
