Renewing 2001 Boxster S Issues

I'm putting my 2001 Boxster S back on the road. I have to reset the sensors but the car is running very well. Two issues have been found.
1. The passenger side window won't roll down. Driver side OK. What's the likely cause- blown fuse or relay, or defect in control unit whose location I don't know
2. Rear spoiler stuck in up position. How is it controlled by driver or is it automatic= maybe attached to convertible top mechanisms?
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Rear spoiler is both automatic and manual, there is a switch near where the relays and fusers are located to manually raise it. Normal operation it will be down until around 70 MPH. Best suggestion I have is try using tee manual button to see if you can lower it manually. Most likely fuse or relay issue. Definitely not tied to convertible top.

Spoiler problem seems to have solved itself

I wrote that the spoiler on my 01 Boxster S seemed stuck in the up position.. The issue resolved itself when I did some testing of the convertible top mechanics. I didn't know it hd happened until I turned off the engine and got out and discovered that it was down
