Tabbi 10 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Hi folks, i need help with this spoiler issue which is annoying me! I just can't figure out what it could be as from reading several threads it could be a number of things, wiring/dash clocks, speed sensor module, spoiler itself etc Is there anyone in and around Bingley, West Yorkshire who can help me please...? I'm confuzzled.. My MFA is also stuck on the clock. I have a 1992 K reg G60. Thanks. Edited March 10, 2015 by Tabbi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This spoiler and MFA is getting to me now.... Lol Any Corrado specialists round here mate who could help? U bought it - wow, that's fast! Read my thread (in my signature)! Mine s sat in a Corrado specialist next to Girlington Morrison for 4 weeks! His name is Chris Umpley and charges £40/hr - so best to ring around for comparison. Still hoping for u someone here has a quick solution for u!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted March 10, 2015 Tabbi, Have you tried anything yourself to fix the spoiler or are you just looking for pointers? If you haven't tried anything, the first thing I would suggest is try disconnecting the radio and see if that gets it working. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZpog 10 Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Bingley seems to be getting common place for Corrado's, soon everyone will drive one. As for spoiler problems, me too. It works on the switch, but not automatically. I have a couple of spare control units that I bought with a view to fixing mine (it didn't) that you could borrow if you like, however if your MAF isn't working, then I'd expect its something to do with that. My understanding is the G60 has a speedo cable (I'm no expert so correct me if I'm wrong) so your speedo would still work, even if your speed sensor that controls the spoiler doesn't.

Tabbi 10 Posted March 11, 2015 Ive just read a load of stuff pointing to speed sensors, dash clocks, control modules, wiring and even the spoiler itself. I know the prev owner replaced the stalk and clocks but without luck. I did pull the fuse box yesterday and noticed a blue/white wire with a white plug on the end disconnected, but couldnt find where it would go.... Will try pull stereo and see what happens.

seanl82 23 Posted March 11, 2015 There are a few cables behind the fuse box that aren't connected in, they're for options and other market components so don't worry about that. As said, pull the stereo and try that first, but the other most common problem is the control module located behind the dash, beside the manual switch. I'd do what you can as most things are relatively cheap, before handing it over to a garage that charge a fortune in labour alone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted March 11, 2015 Okay been looking at the diagrams for this today, and I have also read the issues with the spoiler from the previous owner. There are only 2 wires that go to the spoiler itself. 1 is from the switch 1 is from the control module As you spoiler is only working with the switch, I would disconnect the radio and check. If still no joy, I would check the VSS which is on the gearbox with 3 wires on it Black wire should have 12v with ignition on Brown should go to ground White/Blue should go to back of the fuse box There are a couple of more wires that go to the back of the fuse box, that would we could check. But let us know your findings on the above. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tabbi 10 Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks sankysvr6. I will try removing the stereo to see if that works. In regards to the speed sensor, if there was an issue would that have an effect on the speedo which works fine...?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tabbi 10 Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks Seanl82. I will try removing the stereo and see if it helps. I really appreciate your and everyone elses help. Thankyou. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted March 11, 2015 What I can make of the diagram, is that it goes VSS to the fuse box, from there it goes to the dash and the module. So even though the speedo works it could be a wire a miss at the fuse box end. One other thing to try, is trying lifting the spoiler with the switch, then go for drive and get over 45mph, and see if comes down by itself when you come to a stop.

seanl82 23 Posted March 11, 2015 It'll return down if you drive over 15 mph then come to a stop. No need to get it to raise speed, so a quick trip to the end of the street will let you know if its working as it should. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tabbi 10 Posted March 11, 2015 I will try that on my drive home from work and see what happens. Will keep you posted guys.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tabbi 10 Posted March 11, 2015 Ok so pulled the stereo out, raised the spoiler manually and got to speed and stopped. Spoiler did not move an inch.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tabbi 10 Posted March 12, 2015 Any ideas on what to check next guys....? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted March 12, 2015 To me it seems its not getting any signal from the VSS, did you say you have replaced the spoiler control unit already? Do you think you will be able to post a picture of the control unit with wiring going to it? As your wiring might be different to the diagram that i am looking at. You can also check the wire of pin8 of the unit could Blue/White or White Yellow, but on that pin and check that it goes to the back of the fuse box on the W/01 connector Some info on the fuse box side of things http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted March 12, 2015 Here's a couple of control units It's positioned behind the dash,where your right knee is when your sitting in the driver's seat,check the plugs in properly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sankysvr6 0 Posted March 12, 2015 Any chance you can flip that around so I can see how many contacts are on there. Still would like a picture of yours Tabbi to the colours of the wires going to it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tabbi 10 Posted March 12, 2015 I removed the cover and checked the wires going to the switch. All tight and plugged in. There were 3 wires to the switch. Also checked the module, has 4 wires going to it....i think. Green, brown, black and blue/white. I followed these along and it disappears into the main loom somewhere.

Tabbi 10 Posted March 12, 2015 The pictures of the module are the same as mine. It clips into the metal bracket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted March 12, 2015 Is there anybody local to you, that would lend you a module to try ! They do go wrong,(sometimes) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
