Default spoiler does not work?

I am trying to learn a bit before I tackle my non working spoiler. The car is a 2000 and I do not have the list of fuses. What fuse is for the spoiler? I tried the switch and nothing happens and it never comes up no matter how fast I go. Are there any common problems that I should focus on first? Thanks

Row D, fuse position 8.

Rows are lettered from top to bottom: A, B, C, D and E.

The clip on under the higher number fuses of row E is 'F', the the 'gripper'.

The bottom row is 'G' and contains spare fuses.

The large rocker switch located in the lower left hand corner of the fuse box is 'H', the spoiler switch.

Fuse positions numbered from left to right: 1, 2, 3..., 10.

Account for non-populated fuses.

Common problems? Well, the fuse is the one that comes to mind.

After that I'm pretty much clueless. I've never had to deal with a spoiler problem long enough to learn anything about the spoiler.

Sincerely,

Macster.

It was not the fuse, the piston was bad which eventually took out the motor. I was lucky enough to pull one at a local yard for $20.
