carl0s Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Firstly, you can only bring the spoiler down manually if the ignition is set to ACC or something.. engine has to be off. Secondly, my Active Spoiler did the same as yours after an accident (in my last car, the UK one).. the light on the dash would blink. All I had to do to fix it was to unbolt the brackets a bit and straighten them out. The system seems to be sensitive to resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this last time to the guy he says it is all straight and true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Ah yes, so I see Well, to be fair, my actual spoiler mechanism wasn't bent. Mine was simply bits of mud/grass, and the very thin aluminium plates needed a tidy/straighten-up. The big solid bits were perfectly straight. It really does seem to be a sensitive mechanism.. like I say I didn't have any bends in the solid parts. I only skated up/along a hilly mound -no front end damage.

Guest aksu Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 What i am trying to say is everything now is new but i cant get any power from the switch to the machanism motor so i cant even operate it manualyy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 What i am trying to say is everything now is new but i cant get any power from the switch to the machanism motor so i cant even operate it manualyy This could be by design. Are you sure there is supposed to be power at the switch at all times? Can you confirm that you do understand the engine off/ACC ignition requirement?

Guest aksu Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yes i do i know nearly everything about the supra but this is something new to me [ i dont know if power should be there all the time] but before the key in acc and you could opperate the machanism but now no and i know if you take the machanism out and stick a 12 w power it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Can you take the mechanism out and try the switches with it hanging off the car/sat on the floor? Do the cables reach far enough? How bad was the accident (got pics? ). Could it have severed some cables around the spoiler area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
