hodgkinsons 0 Posted January 30, 2006 I know this is harping on about a problem that has been covered before many times but I have just discovered through the search that my car has suffered from this for a while and the previous owner had no joy in fixing it despite his attempts see below: A) no stereo in the car, so its not the blue/white wire B) I have metered out the wires, so pretty sure there are no broken 1's C) Fitted a new speed sensor on the gearbox D) Bought a 2nd hand spoiler controller from someone on the forum E) Fuses are all ok He has also changed the clocks twice in an attempt to sort this out much to my shock as I read his previous thread. Does anybody have any other ideas to try, it works on the button but that's it. I'd really like to get it working. Is it worth looking behind the trim in the rear hatch to see if there's any problems? :roll: :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted January 30, 2006 Have you definetly checked BOTH the fuses? As you have changed the contol box i'd be looking at the wiring to the box especially the speed sensor signal... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodgkinsons 0 Posted February 1, 2006 I'll recheck them, car has flat battery in the garage at the mo so need to sort that out too. Looks like the blue/white wire for volume control behind stereo has been removed completely does this matter? Cheers for help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 1, 2006 check it's not shorting to earth, it has to be there somewhere... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodgkinsons 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Can you telll me where this wire runs from and to, I can see if it has been cut off further back, would like to avoid taking out the stereo again as the dash is getting a bit fragile around there. Thanks again for info. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Next time you fill it with fuel - accelerate up to 45mph+ as soon as you can after and see if it rises! May sound mad - but my old valver's spoiler never worked off the speedo only the button but for some crazy reason - would raise as the fuel level was being read.

hodgkinsons 0 Posted February 3, 2006 That's sounds very strange! but I'll give it a go, curently on SORN over winter so will have to wait don't think the garage is quite big enough for that. Must be some wiring\ earth issue surely that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodgkinsons 0 Posted July 25, 2006 Well this is a long time since but not bothered too much about it since, feel like it's time for another go! Tried the above and no change, I'm looking for this illusive blue white wire behind the dash but can't see it, does anyone know where it origninates from? is it the fuse box or the back of the controller? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bojmobile 0 Posted July 25, 2006 In behind stereo usually. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted July 26, 2006 it comes from the spoiler control unit IIRC... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodgkinsons 0 Posted July 26, 2006 Thanks, and I presume that sits behind the fuse box area somwhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted July 26, 2006 It sits close to the switch - under the headlght switch... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hodgkinsons 0 Posted July 27, 2006 Cheers for the info, I keep getting enthusiasm to fix these little things, problem I've got is I know the previous owner has had a little play. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
