Default 997 Rear spoiler button not working

Has anyone had this issue? My spoiler goes up and down when driving when a certain speed is reached, but if I try to manually deploy the spoiler, the button does nothing (it doesn't even light up).

The spoiler doesn't make any noise going up or down so I don't think its an issue with the motor.

Just trying to figure out how I can troubleshoot this once I bring the car out in the spring!

As always, thanks for everyone's help!

Hmm good point, I should check that.......I would have thought the spoiler wouldn't work if the fuse was gone but maybe there is another fuse for the button

Either that, or the button is shot.

The wing is fused for sure but that's okay since it does work.
As for the buttons, are the other buttons on the strip working?
I would find it odd that the buttons are fused separately but hey...who knows?

If not, Suncost has the whole strip on sale right now.

You're likely right.... wouldn't make sense to fuse the switches separately.

All the other buttons work fine, its just that switch that doesn't work......so its possible the switch is gone!
