Hi
Wonder if anybody can help ?

The rear spolier on our boxster 986 1999 is not working
The manual switch in the fuse box does not operate the spolier
The fault light appears on the dash
Does anybody know if it could be the motor the fuse is ok

Thanks

you have 2 relays in the l/h side of the rear boot , can you hear these clicking when someone else presses the spoiler switch.

Thanks for your help
Do you mean the relays should be clicking if they are working correctly (spoiler operating correctly)
I have tried today and can't here any clicking,do you think I should pull the trim back so I can see the relays.

Thanks

basically you have a relay board on l/h side of boot and if you look you will see 2 plastic flat blade screws which turn 90 degree's and the whole board will pull out..

Sorry I can't help, but you could try phoning dawthan. At the bottom of his post click "Profile" then the website in his profile. They are only in Barnsley.
