Third, you may have a bad switch on your remote. Check with your other key to see if the trunk opens.

Hi Pedro, I guess my question is not about the individual items listed (and their proposed solutions) but rather "Does the communication for these 3 items run through the instrument cluster" ?

I know the automatic spoiler raising and lowering is controlled by the cluster. ie. The speed hits 75, sends message to spoiler to raise. etc.

But does the cluster tell the dinger that the light is on when I open my door ?

Does the cluster send a message to the trunk to open when I press the remote ?

So if these 3 things are not working it could indicate a bad cluster ?

Thanks
Terry
