anyone here have a '07? I need help please
 
I recently bought a 07. While playing with the spoiler switch I blew a fuse (held the button too long I think). So I went to check the fuse panel and no fuse diagram! So if you can tell me which fuse it is, or even more helpful.. provide a pic of the fuse diagram, that would be awesome. The dealership does not have a replacement part for the paper diagram, bummer. The rear trunk is also on the same circuit and now the trunk wont open. I don't want to pull the fuses out one at a time for fear I might screw up something else. Thanks!

I don't have an 07, but a little googling can come up with the diagram. Look at post#5 in below thread:

Moral of the story: once it's up, don't overdo it.

Words to live by.

Suggest you add a title "Spoiler Problem"
I have been working on the spoiler and just modified a Cayman spoiler lift assy. to fit my Boxster S.
The drive mechanism is odd to work on. If it gets corroded or jammed it will blow the fuse so don't just use higher amperage fuse.
If the spoiler or bumper has been nudged when in the 'up' position it can move out of ideal angle/alignment .
The spoiler pistons are actuated by spiral wound cables push-pull. Each cable is attached to a plastic rack adjacent to the electric motor. The teeth on the rack are soft and the metal sprocket on the motor engages in these plastic rack teeth. It can break/wear off the teeth on these 2 racks . But the fuse protects you from instant destruction.
First step is to get an assistant to operate the spoiler raise button while you observe if the spoiler is catching the trunk lid or the bumper lip. Tell the assistant to stop immediately you YELL because you see it hit something ! You have found the problem !
How to fix it is another post .
