Spoiler goes down when headlights on??

Recommended Posts

Folks can someone help diagnose? Spoiler works off the switch and speed sensor no probs until I turn side or head lights on , then it goes down (regardless of car speed). If put it up again manually it stays up until I switch headlights off (back to side lights) then it goes back down again. Am I crossing wires behind the dash somewhere????

The spoiler module is fairly close to where the headlight loom runs...

 

I would check this in case the Earth on that loom has burnt out - this can happen with headlight switch failure and many of us have fitted a fuse on this wire to prevent this happening.

 

Usually it's connecting the speed sensor wire on the stereo that causes the spoiler not to work!

Should I be fitting an inline fuse on the headlight loom? I'm guessing black being earth?

Have taken it to pieces and no obvious bare wires etc but I can't recreate the problem so maybe something was touching
