Ash996

Hi, just bought a 99 996 with an aftermarket aerokit (not sure of maker). When I go over 75, the spoiler warning light turns on I guess becasue the stock spoiler will not rise. Has anyone else heard of this issue and is there a resolution (not turning on the spoiler light at all?)

Thanks.

When a factory (Porsche) spoiler is added their is change to the wiring harness to disable that warning. You need to purchase and install (5 min max) the following new harness:
996 612 070 51 Wiring Harness.

Check whether there is a jumper connecting pin 2 (which is already jumped from pin 1) to pin 5 on plug X23 of the new wiring harness (connection to the vehicle). If this is the case, the spoiler extended signal will be constantly present at the control module and the warning light of the retractable rear spoiler will not light. (at speeds above 74mph or 120 km/h).

Connect the plug connection of the new wiring harness to the vehicle. Route the wiring harness
along the hood shock to the fan housing and attach it on the rear lid with two (2) fastening clips.
Connect the fan and interior lamp plugs.

Done.

Hi Loren:
Does the information you have given previously also applies for MY02 996 C2?

Thanks for the help. I appreciate this, is this something that is usually avaialable at the parts department of my dealer?

Bocky - I think the color code on the wires is different on the 02 schematics. (Hmmm... wiring looks the same? but the color code changed). So that would imply that it might be a different harness or connector. If you give the dealer the part number (above) and tell them you want the same thing for an 02 they should be able to find it. Especially since the Aerokit II is going to be shipping in December.

Ash996 - Yes, the dealer should have this or be able to get it in a couple of days from their supply system.
