Check rear wing stuck open when driving after erasing the fault system works properly until fault appears again and stops working and warning appears. Fault code 03132 limit switches, by using ohm meter I check the limit switches at close position and open position they are working properly what can be the problem? Rear spoiler control unit, and where is its location on the car.
Thank you

I have seen where the spoiler motor starts to go out causing this issue here are the instructions for replacing the motor in the diagrams below. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Hi Mr. Ken, thanks for your reply. I already removed the spoiler assembly I checked the limit switches at full open and fully closed positions they are working properly, because my fault code is 03132 related to limit switches. I just want to know which control unit is controlling the rear spoiler and the location of it, also a wiring diagram between the spoiler and the control unit.
Thank you

Hi Sevag, how have you been? Yep, Audi does not release this kind of info to the aftermarket ie: or AllData. If you find it, can you, please post it?

Hi Mr. Ken, problem solved by repairing the harness for spoiler limit switches under the rear bumper, heat of the exhaust effects the harness that are not insulated properly.
Thank you.
