Spoiler activation failure

I had to take off my rear decklid. I have a fixed rear spolier, factory installed. Now that it is back on, the car seems to think I've got the standard moveable spoiler. I'm getting the SPOILER ACTIVATION FAILURE warning when I exceed 60 mph and again when I slow down. It seems that I have everything hooked up as it was originally. What did I do wrong and how do I fix it?

Thanks,

Did the spoiler light work correctly before you removed the rear lid?

If so then you need to check the spoiler harness and make sure it is not disconnected, crimped or has corroded pins.

The spoiler light has never come on before since the spoiler is not the mechanical moving type. When I reconnected the wires, I had one for the 3rd brake light in the wing, one for the fan and another for the light. There is an unused plug sitting on the passenger side that seems to be included with the other wires going to the decklid. Should that be plugged somewhere? I don't see a home for it and don't recall having to unplug it when removing the deck/spoiler.

Thanks
