I installed a TechArt Type 1 wing blade on my car last night, the one that replaces the pop up spoiler. I don't care much for how the wing looks in the raised position and do not want the wing to raise anymore, so I unplugged the 2 connections to the motor underneath the decklid shroud.

Took it for a drive and as expected I got the "spoiler malfunction" light on the dash above 74mph. When I turn the car off and back on it goes away.

I have read there is a Porsche wiring harness I can buy that is plug and play to eliminate this malfunction warning that plugs into the fan and 3rd brake light for them to function correctly. I believe it is the one for the Turbos equipped with the factory aerokit wing?

I've read some conflicting information about which harness I need.

I've seen the following p/n in reference to fixed wing:
996 612 070 30
996 612 070 51
996 612 070 04

Can anyone tell me which one I need?

Thanks!

I think Rennkit.com, DaveCarrera4 on here has a little black box that will handle this.

Dave?

Thanks for the suggestion! Looks like this is what I need. Is this plug and play?

From RennKit...



"MicroModule: Included with every eRam kit, this device can be purchased separately to prevent the spoiler warning on Porsche 996 / 997 Turbos with fixed wing installations. For 996 / 997 Turbos that have the GT2 / GT3 / Aero or after-market integrated wing & engine lid. Less costly than a new GT2 / GT3 wiring harness! Stop the spoiler warning for good!"

Yes that should take care of it

Lots of them out there now...

I believe the -051 is the correct harness.

I bought 996 612 070 30 when I installed a Misha TechArt style wing 2 years ago
It works perfectly.

Thank you for the replies!

that wing won't go up and down?

Not any longer with the GT2 harness...my system developed a leak and was displaying "Spoiler Malfunction" indicator...although, the spoiler went up and down evenly...
I'd tried all the spoiler fix options posted on all forums and non seemed to work...although, the post that showed how to cut and splice the wires one probably would have worked...
but I wanted the option of fixing the rams and returning to the original setup, if possible...and I thought the spoiler extending higher didn't look good, so I decided to make it non operational...
so far, I think it looks perfect.

I remember a thread on 6speed on the subject, here it is : http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...t-spoiler.html

Does anyone know if this reknit resister kit works on non turbo models. Same issue with spoiler malfunction and looking for a wire fix not a durametric software change.

Porsche says at speeds over 75 the rear wing should deploy to maintain safety. Its in the owners manual! I dont think Porsche would make a point about it if it the safety statement did not have any credence..

That's great but irrelivent for a fixed wing..

DaveCarrera4

Yes the RennKit MicroModule will fix it. A bit more than a resistor. It is a microcomputer in fact.
