My Rear Spoiler dash light is on and I do not have a rear spoiler? Any reason why?

I think after replacing every fuse and electrical sensor in the car, that the Coil Ignition Tumbler is bad. After sitting for two months and the battery going dead, it will start, then immediately die. I have also left the ignition in the "On" position for 30 minutes to "reprogram", and have had it checked for codes...it does connect to the computer, runs the analysis, the everything is "Pass". And yes, it is full of gas, and I even bought a new battery. ANY help would be appreciated! Thanks! A Bankrupt Momma

    Did you find the problem? My 2003 new Beetle started doing the same after it was flooded, it will die immediately after start, the only dashboard lights that come up are the battery and the rear spoiler ones, but the car didn't get a rear spoiler either. Looks like your case except I can't read codes from the ECU, looks like there's no connection to the ECU at all.

SOURCE: rear spoiler does not work.

The rear spoiler is controlled by a Rear Spoiler Control Module. Fuse 35 (30A) and Fuse 5 (7.5A) located in the fuse panel behind left side of dash provide power to the control module. After ensuring that the fuses are good, I would toggle the Rear Spoiler Switch to see if the servo-motor works properly. It is located under the steering wheel underneath the flat part of the dash.

On my 2008 Subaru Outback, my rear tail lights are on as they normally would be, however, when I step on the brake, the brake lights do not come on (for both left and right), but the spoiler brake light...

There are a few items to check: Fuses [ should be listed as stop, or brake light ] there's a reason if blown, Bulbs [ they have an average life span, you may have 2 that happened to burn out at the same time ], Wireing [ may have a cut or broken wire in a harness in the rear or a trailer light harness problem if equiped.]

How do you replace the brake light on the rear spoiler on a 2001 Hyundai Accent?

This is the Spoiler Dude. The spoiler light is attached with screws to the spoiler. You must remove the screws and then the spoiler light will come away from the spoiler. Clip the two wires ( Black & Red ). Attached the new spoiler light ( I can get that for you) with a sleeve. Test the new light with the brake pedal depressed. Screw in the new light and that is it. If you have any questions.
