Default Rear "Spoiler Control Failure" message HELP

It will go up but not down automatically (periodically). Sometimes the manual switch works, other times not.

It looked like it was the upper limit switch that wasn't registering. I broke the switch getting it out and so couldn't confirm this guess. I replaced the switch ($45+) and confirmed both switches operational. No effect on the fault.Is there a way to trouble shoot the control module?
I have both PIWIS and Durametric.

Thanks in advance for any help here.

Yep... those pesky little micro switches. Fill it back up with fluid. Lots and lots of posts about that procedure if you search.
