the two relays are activated by the cluster .
however, the cluster detects the position of the spoiler via a small switch located on the spoiler rail.
you will have to remove the mechanism cover to get to it.



this is the diagram just in case (for 2000-2004 cars)

by the way, if one wants, he can use the wires connected to the switch to activate a LED to show the status of the spoiler.
gray/green and gray/brown.

Your spoiler warning light (dash cluster) should come on if it is not operating correctly. I am unsure of the exact inputs and reliability for the light but they would likely be things like speed signal and the spoiler track micro switch state....

...drop two special purple pills into a full tank of gas and your spoiler should stay up all week end

Special Purple Pills ?? That is Nexium for acid reflux. Will it stop oil from dripping out of the RMS ?
