997.1 TT- Engine Fan test & Spoiler circuit/ wiring


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have an 08 TT cab. that has been running great with no issues. Recently my spoiler would raise properly but not retract. I checked the bottom of the rams and did have leaking fluid although not enough (yet) to leak into the engine compartment. I choose to remove the hydraulics and install a Renn Kit electric after market "e-ram" system. Everything is installed correctly but still have the same problem- spoiler won't retract. I do get the dash warning lights and the manual button on my center console stays lit. When I reboot the system by locking and starting the car the wing retracts and all is good- until I reach 75 mph.

 

My mechanic ran a diagnostic and can get the spoiler both up and down when hooked into the under dash port.

Coincidently, I can remember my fan turning on automatically when parked after a spirited drive but about same time as spoiler issue, I haven't heard it kick on. Is there a simple text to see that its working correctly?  Want to say that I'm pretty certain that the wiring harness on the Renn Kit is installed correctly. All other lights and electronic things work fine. Wondering if I have a wiring issue of some kind. Just moved to Bay Area and have heard of rodent damage to car wiring. Any feedback would be helpful

You should be able to activate both systems with a Porsche specific scan tool such as the Durametric or the all mighty PIWIS system.  If that doesn’t work, you need to start looking at your harnesses........
