I have replaced the micro switch, the hydraulics and now it is not working again. Rather than put more money into it I think I will get the GT2 decklid and wing!

Finally got my car to the shop today for the rear spolier malfunction. My tech is very calculated as he checks out the car. No leak at the rams and the micro switch appears to working fine. Removes the complete system for a fluid check a bleed. He finds that the pump itself is giving up This is a $1,100.00 part retail. He comes back from the bench in about 15 minutes with the assembly back together and starts the install. Turns out he had a client have him redue his whole system recently and his pump was fine. Even after telling the person the pump was fine, he was told to do the whole system. He GAVE me the pump and two hours of labor later I was out the door. AWESOME! No light now Some people are just to cool! My car is now perfect! YES!

That mechanic just earned a customer for life - I love it!

Now go spend the $1100 on some go-fast parts!

Thanks for the congrats! You are very close to me for sure. Perhaps sometime we can hook up. Mulholland is a blast. I do like the idea of the GT2 wing

Happy to hear it had a good ending.

Thanks for telling us what the solution was. Either way - $1100 wasn't too bad. But it's always nice to save a few bucks.
