Active Spoiler Doesn't Work
Hi Everyone,
The rear active spoiler on my 2014 Base F-Type doesn't work and I get an error message when I press the button. I couldn't find a corresponding fuse, so I am lost. I would like to get some advice on how I can tackle this on my own, as the dealer wants a whole bunch of money for diagnosis. Any help would be appreciated.

There is no dedicated fuse for the rear spoiler, IIRC the fuse it uses is also for 2 or 3 other things.
Maybe just maybe a/the previous owner disabled the spoiler, possibly the same way I have done by pulling the connecting power plug underneath the spoiler.
It's not difficult to reconnect just a time consuming process, I have a write up about it around here somewhere.
My iCarsoft LR V2.0 code reader shows the following diagnostic message for the spoiler plug being disconnected:
"Chassis Control Module U2011 - Motor".
Get yourself a decent code reader (you will save multiple amounts of it's cost on all sorts of things) and check.

Agree with Oz that it may have been disabled. For troubleshooting however, I put all info on the spoilers on my Cloud Drive and dropped link here and on my DIY Thread. Should help with whatever you need.
