hi,   new to me 1999  euro spec 996 .  runs and drives fine.   yesterday friend of mine drove it.   came back with spoiler in the up position and locked there .  nothing in the owners manual that talks about this.   I have driven it very fast quite often and never noticed it either up or down and have no new warning lights on dash.   some sources say there is a manual switch somewhere  in the foot well but I can't find it...  anyone know what I'm  talking about or where it is so I can put this thing down ?  ... or is it suddenly broken ?     I thought I read somewhere that it was airconditioner related  but I can now find no such reference.  any suggestions ?

will do and report back.   thx.

 

turns out the answer was right there in your drawing...  the switch is right there where you clearly marked it.... I had the fuse cover off because the hore went off full time the other day and I had to pull the fuse  ( orings near air bag im told )   and I never put the cover back so he must have hit it w/ his foot when he got in.  I   activated it  to go down and down it went like magic.    another satisfied customer and thank you.

welcome to the forum.

glad this was an easy fix for you.

sometimes....well, sometimes for somethings there is an easy answer.

Cheers,

ps:  the switch actually comes through the fuse box cover, unless it was optioned to one of the blanks up on the horseshoe around the radio/ac.

well ... as soon as I FIND the fuse cover from where I threw it in haste the other day, ill find out.   whats funny is that I was in the car w/ my girl friend who happens to be an extremely hot german woman and we were in the middle of a very swank resort when the horn thing happened... so there I am on my knees grabbing at the fuse panel which, because its a euro car, is in german... so there SHE is , standing next to the car , in this tight exquisite  knit dress  translating the fuse locations for me  all the while horn screaming... something out of a monte python movie...  but it was funny.
