Default Rear spoiler won't activate - help please

Hi, I've done a search on the rear spoiler and found nearly 500 posts but unfortunately none of them covered my problem.

The rear spoiler will not activate either at speed or manually by using the rocker switch. When it does work it's a little noisy which I don't mind as it lets me know it's working.

I've removed the plastic cover from the mechanism and all looks OK, nothing loose.

Where do I start, is there a fuse as well as the relay in the footwell?

I believe it is fuse 37. You might check that first. (15A)

Have someone operate the spoiler while your back there. Sounds like your spoiler trans was on it's way out.

Fuse is OK and I can hear a slight click from the spoiler module when I press the rocker switch.

Check power to the motor and check the micro-switches.
