stoner 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Since I had a new stereo fitted, my spoiler has stopped raising at 40mph. It still works OK manually. I'm convinced that fitting the stereo has caused the problem - can anyone shed any light? Andy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoner 0 Posted July 31, 2003 Just read a few other threads on this, they mention that a wire may have to be disconnected. Which wire though?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fine wine, Belgian chocs. 1 Posted July 31, 2003 I've done this myself cos I is a bit fick. The wire you need to disconnect is blue with a white stripe. I found out about it somewhere on this forum, thankfully. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stoner 0 Posted October 5, 2003 Damnation! I've pulled the blue / white wire, but it hasn't cured the problem. what should I try next? Is there a fuse anywhere? The spoiler works OK in manual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted October 5, 2003 disconnect the radio, if the spoiler dont work then the stereo is not the problem Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoner 0 Posted October 6, 2003 I just did disconnect the radio, and it's not the problem! Where do I go from here? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted October 6, 2003 Correct me if I am wrong but there is a speed input to the spoiler controller. The controller is just above the switch I think. Would need to check the wiring diagrams to work out the wire in q. Make sure nothing got disconnected under the dash. I know thats a bit of sweeping statement. Does the speedo still work? and the miles count up. Digital mileage or rotating counters? Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoner 0 Posted October 6, 2003 The MPG, miles and average MPh isn't working on the trip computer. I have a manual odometer and that is fine, so it deffo looks like an issue with the speed sensor. Anyone know where it is exactly, and how I can test it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fine wine, Belgian chocs. 1 Posted October 6, 2003 I don't have a clue where it is mate but if it's in the clocks somewhere then I've got a set with the non digital odometer if you need any bits from them :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spoier 0 Posted October 6, 2003 With the ignition on but the car not running I get ~ 7V on the blue/white wire that used to go into the stereo. That's all I've got to help sorry SKye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted October 6, 2003 get the mfa check sum up and chech speed sensor pulse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoner 0 Posted October 11, 2003 How do I do that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
h100vw 0 Posted October 11, 2003 Ign on engine off. Press and hold the end of the mfa stalk while turning off ign and turning it back on. Go for a drive and keep pressing the mfa button, in both 1 and 2. Eventually, you should find one that is counting up rapidly. If you don't the speed sensor must be totalled. Have a look on the American Corrado club there is a better write up on there about it. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g60pops 0 Posted October 11, 2003 It could well be your spoiler control module. And by luck there is one currently on ebay. Hope this helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
