That sounds good, but that overheat failure would generally be the last time that the spoiler rose until it was allowed to cool off. But while I was discovring this problem I raised and lowered it a dozen times or so, some right in succession, and italways performed the same, witha 1" rise. And if it were the relay overheating, why would it perform correctly around 8 times in a row when I"fixed" it?

Another thing. The dashboard indicator never lit when it was rising only 1". The mystery deepens!
