Default I just installed the OEM Carrera wing, and I have a small problem...

When I exceed 75 mph and the mechanical wing doesn't raise (because it has been replaced by the fixed wing) I get an error message that I can clear, but the 'idiot light' stays on until I turn off the car and reset the system.

Did my installer forget to disable a circuit? I didn't see any reference to this item in the TSB I received from the seller of the wing on the installation procedure.

Yes, of course photos will be coming, but I've been traveling overseas for the past 3 weeks and the car is a mess.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not sure, but my mechanic followed the TSB for installation. Doug- thanks for the direction but I couldn't get the search to locate the procedure. Any ideas?

Thanks! That looks like it will help. I keep looking for your car when driving around Boulder Valley, but haven't seen it yet...

Check renntech, I had a post a couple of yrs ago about this, bottom line you must change out the harness, there are three different ones, one 40$, another 120$ and the last is the c4s aerokit harness 350$. I believe you want ~51 that was posted above.
