Default Wing Control

Recently, my wife's 2006 roaster wing comes up every time the car is started. We manually lower it and it works normally; goes up and down base on mph.

But, the next time we start the car, as soon as the key is turned, it goes up again.

Any clues on what can be going on? thansk

Normally this is because of the battery being on the way out, a new battery often solves this problem.
Low voltage from the battery causes odd problems on the Crossfire.

thanks

Yes, starting the car is a bit more sluggish these days. I have noticed that its just not turning over like it used to. Unbelievable that the car still has the original battery.

Is there anything like it out in the market today?

Get yourself a NEW Interstate battery
Interstate MPT-48/H6

I am convinced that the vast majority of electrical problems with the crossfire can be averted by simply cleaning and reinstalling the battery terminals and making sure they are properly tightened once or twice a year.

Another good thing about agm battieies.
Don't have to worry about the buildup on the terminals, worth the extra $ to me.
