Coming home from work this evening I parked in my garage as usual...

but when I got out, I noticed the rear spoiler hadn't retracted !!!

It was too cold outside (-11'C) to start looking then but I'll have to investigate in the morning...:-(

I know the 964 used to jam its gears...but what should I check first on the boxster?

If you raised the spoiler with the switch and then went on a drive and did not go over 75 mph then when you get home it is still up. Something like that - I do not remember.

If you have never touched your switch then there is some glitch. No clue as to what since there is no bulletin. My local dealer just replaces the spoiler drive. They do not even try to figue out what went wrong. I am in sunny California so it is not the cold.

I haven't had a switch since I sold the 964..!

I think it must have just frozen as I gave it a little bit of gas on the way to the office this morning and it is now behaving itself.

I'll just have to accept she was not her usual sweet self last night.

Where is the switch to raise/lower the spoiler? I thought it was only automatic.

Its in the fuse panel, by your left foot when you're sitting in the car.

Irishdriver

which foot is my left?

Pyroproblem

opposite of your right

Irishdriver

That's wrong !!!

Oh, i guess I forgot that you're probably not driving a LHD car... I imagine the fuse panel would be on the opposite side then, but I dont know for sure in RHD.

Irishdriver

I am driving LHD - I live in Germany (they make some good cars there!)

Obviously my joke was too subtle - "wrong" being the opposite of "right" :-)
