2 electrical problems

Ok so on the turbo I bought I have 2 electrical problems and I'm sure they are both easy to solve.
1: the intermediate wipe switch or function doesn't work. You can turn the **** and it will wipe one time then stop and not come back on again. **** need to be replaced?
2: I hva e a gt2 wing and trunk on the rear but the failure light forthe turbo wing still comes on. Fuse, unplug a sensor?
Thanks
Freddy

Probably a bad wiper switch. The spoiler light can be jumped and shut off I believe blkmgk put it in a post, also have seen harness adapter sold by deck manufacturers but not sure if available separately?

Rear wing originally had two limit switches, one for up and one for down. Locate these and close ONE of them - I cannot recall which one so trial and error is in order. Do not close both, you'll get a light - guess how I know .

OK I'll get a **** for that. As for the spoiler light it come on at speed. Actually usually when decelling from higher speeds

for stock oem spoiler/motor you should have harness. engine compartment/right hand side coming out of the wall. for stock wing it goes to right ram, I disconnected the switch from the ram and taped it together so it wont trigger. no more red light, since i removed entire motor assembly.
