Spolier issue when lowering

[awigman 0]

My second post of the day requesting help!

 

My spoiler seems to operate fine when it rises however when it lowers automatically it drops a little then stops. When you lower is manually its drops a little, stops then you hear a tick (presumably from a switch) then drops a little bit more, then ticks then a little bit more and so on and so on until its all the way down.

 

Any advise?

 

Thanks

Two choices by a brand new motor or bypass the green thermal fuse in the motor

It could just require stripping and cleaning. Mine did the same, so I stripped it down and cleaned and re-greased the motor + complete mech.

 

It now works perfectly.

 

Word of warning it can be fiddly to put back together, but if you take your time it will go.

When it clicks though it means the thermo fuse is on its way out

As above, I had the same problem with mine, removed it, stripped it down and gave it a good clean, now works fine.

 

I did notice a fair bit of copper dust in and around the motor commutator, this may have been causing shorts and hence tripping the thermal fuse.
