Wing motor help
I thought that some of this info would be of some help to some if not all people out there with a Corrado.
A friend of mine was having a problem with the rear wing going down and one weekend we
took the car and tried to figure out what the heck was going on. When the wing went up it
was fine but on the way down it would slow and blow a fuse (gauges would not work )
If you seem to have this problem than there's a good chance that you can save the motor,
first thing to do is raise the hatch and take off the panel to get to the motor assembly,
looking at the assembly for the wing ( which is in two parts motor, and trany ) on the
trany for the wing is a lever that disengages the motor from the trany just pull the
lever down and disengage the motor. Then all that you need to do is turn the lever
so the wing is half way up , then turn your ignition on and hit the manual switch on
the dash to raise and lower the wing. What you are doing is cleaning off the brushes
on the motor, if your wing goes up fine than first run the motor to go up and then
off and on run it down for a short period and back up again. after about 5 or 10
minutes reinguage the trany to see if this has helped if so I would repeat the procedure
another time. If your wing will not go up but will go down than reverse the procedure.
I hope this is of some help, I would not even want to imagine how much the dealer
would want for a new motor.
