Angry Rear wing, malfunctioning.

Hi guys, another probably stupid question, so here goes.
I looked in the search form for any information, I couldn't locate any.
Does the rear wing have a separate fuse for manual raising and lower and automatically?
I can not get it to raise by my manual switch in the dash. no red light either. It will raise automatically when I hit 60 mph, and go back down, with that said I'm assuming that maybe the switch has gone bad? I'm beginning to get to point that I'm having a hard time showing my love for this car, seems like nothing back problems since I've own it. But not ready to give up yet. I hope I can get all the problems ironed out before July. Plan on a 1300 mile trip one way, to upstate NY. And back usually put about a total of 3000 miles by the time I get home.
as usual any help greatly appreciated.
DJ

Probably a bad switch or wiring to the BCM.
The BCM does all the 'controlling' :

Were there any wires or position sensors on them?

Could the BCM "think" the top is in the middle of a up/down cycle leaving the switch inop?

I'm surprised it moves automatically, if there is an indication that the top is in a partly raised or lowered condition, it should not move.

OF COURSE, you could not have it partly up or down at SPEED as the wind would tear the top off!!! So, Ok, it does make sense.

Pizzaguy,
Unless I misunderstand your post? The top stop working about 2 weeks ago, checked cylinders, found 2 leaking. Have been able to raise and lower the top, manually, ever since then. It just wouldn't work because fluid was low. Was unable to lock tonneau then, with no tool to latch the cover. Switch wasn't blinking then, and spoiler was working. Removed cylinders, with electric sensors attached to driver's side cylinder. After removal of both, light was blinking and rear spoiler would not go up using manual switch. Still worked at going up once I reached 60mph. My 2 questions(maybe not explained clearly) were as the tonneau cover not being latched causing the blinking or because the disconnect of the two electrically connections causing the problem? Blinking light and spoiler not working manually. Clean as mud now???? LOL.
