FAST850R Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi, I need some information from you guys about the 850r rear trunk spoiler. A paint guy removed it for painting, and I don't know what he did, but when I picked up the car, the brake light bulb warning light is on whenever I step on brake. I simply just check the spoiler because that is the only item that I can suspect. When I open the trunk, there is a wire that go into the trunk from the spoiler. (On left side of the spoiler.) What is this wire? It's cut off. I don't think it supposed to be cut off like that. Please give me some info and advice so I know it's an easy fix.....

TRACStar Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 If you pull the carpeting off the trunk lid you will see the wiring for the light. I believe it is a yellow clip if I remember right. If it is cut, depending on where the cut is it may be a PITA to fix. That on top of them driving the car while they had it if I read your other thread right around 100mi. I'd be in there crackin skulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was thiking about it but I was in hurry to go to work and since I have to bring my car back to the shop, I didn't really pay attention on anything other than the paint. Also, eventhough I tell them things will just get ugly. I just want them to complete the paint. I just found out that they just sprayed over the hood so the window washer things were clogged. I just used a sharp pencil to make them work again. Anyway, I pulled the wire just from the spoiler, and it was cut. I just put it back for now since I am at work. I will remove the carpet of the trunk lid and check it out again when I get home. I need to cool down What a unprofessional paint job ever I got....

I see a white clip and yellow clip. The white one is connected, but the yellow one is not. The problem is, I can't find where to connect the yellow clip. There is nothing to connect the wire. Any advice on this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAST850R Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I just found a manual how to install the 850r spoiler, and yes, they cut the wire that suppose to connect to the yellow clip. Wow, very professional. I am going to take my car tomorrow and let them finish and fix everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAST850R Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Here is a picture what part they cut off. I talked on the phone and they ask me to bring the car this Friday so they will fix it. I am going to stand right next to them while they are working on my car. I don't know how they will fix the wire... Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRACStar Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 They'll most likely just splice it back in. After everything else they did make sure they don't just twist the wires and tape them. It always pisses me off to see shitty service like that. Steer clear of that place from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I will make sure I will be right next to them when they fix it. I wonder what material they will use to splice them back in. We will see. What were they thinking? Maybe I won't notice about the wire that just cut off??? I also don't know why they disconnected the battery for painting the car? When I picked up my car, the whole dash board gauges didn't work. All the needles(turbo, rpm, speed, temp, fuel) were at 0, and the info computer was displaying only time, nothing else. I was like WTF...then all the gauges started working after 2 min driving. I never had this kind experience. I am taking my car this Friday to complete the paint. After that, I won't see them again, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
