Third brake light, spoiler and both hatch releases. Circuit info?

New user with a 991.1 2006 coupe. Spoiler both hatche releases and third brake lights do not work. Are they all on a same circuit? What circuits /fuses / relays control those functions? I have a parasitic drain that kills the battery. If I use a jumper I can operate the spoiler. All fuses in driver footwell are ok. No drain across the fuses. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

With a Porsche it is possible. My 996 Turbo spoiler fuse was also in the circuit that operated the front trunk lid latch and the engine lid latch. When I pulled what I thought was just the spoiler fuse to disable the spoiler until I could get it fixed I found I was unable to open the front trunk lid or engine lid.

For my 2003 996 Turbo the spoiler fuse was Row D, # 7.

The rows start at the top of the fuse box with A and the fuse number starts at the left of the row with 1.
