Talking Read wing spoiler disable?

Hello everyone!

I recently installed a techart rear spoiler, now I want to disable the automatic rear wing spoiler on my 986 so it would not hit the techart when up or create more drag.

Anyone know how to disable the factory rear wing spoiler from automatically going up?

Thank you guys!

Which fuse my friend? Just being sure I would not pull the wrong one that would make things worse.

I just repaired my rear spoiler this weekend trying to MAKE it work again. Funny. I thought about just disabling it since I don't plan to drive it at high speed around a track (I have another vehicle for that) and I was tired of seeing the light come on when ever I went over 75 MPH. Decided to just replace the motor instead.

This is what the previous owner of my 2001 Boxster base did because he did not want to fix the inop. auto spoiler. Porsche dealership in the receipt says,"Disconnect power supply .5 spoiler drive and warning lamp was previously disconnected(N/C). Disconnected power supply wires to spoiler motor to ensure that it cannot be moved electronically." Hope this helps
