Unhappy Spoiler dash light is on

Hey all, Supernoob here, just bought a 2000 Boxster S with 14K miles on it. Car checked out OK but I have noticed that the spoiler dash light is on. The manual switch works but I don't think it will raise automaticly. Any quick fix?

Congratulations on your purchase!
Do you actually know if the spoiler raises or not?
Could just be a sensor error.
Good luck.

Just to cover all bases, does the light stay on while driving it? It's supposed to go off after driving forward a second or two.

Question

Thanks for the replies! Yes the spoiler will raise in manual mode to the fully extended position, just won't automaticly extend while driving. The dash light stays on even after the car is running.

Sorry, semantics kicking in here... not running, but actual forward driving? Does it stay on while driving forward for a little bit.
