Have full control of your Active Aero rear spoiler - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

badass3000 · 09-28-2003, 06:12 PM

After looking at the Active Aero circuit diagrams on page 143 of book 2 of the service manual, I think I have found a way for complete control over the rear spoiler. First the diagram found in the book.

Basicly the motor (M) direction depends on polarity. Up is pos/neg, down is neg/pos. So to give this power to the motor just unplug plug F-28 from the "Active Aero control unit" near the car jack and put a toggle switch on wires 53 & 57 according to next pic

**I have not tried this and take no responsibility for damage**
I wanted to try this b/c my AA was not working at all to see if I could regain control of the rear spoiler but I think my AA motor is broke.
If anybody feels brave and tries this let me know. Im almost sure it will work.

Looks good to me.

But does the DP/DT switch have a center position.
You need to shut the motor off when the spoiler gets to where you want it.

I made a relay circuit to use the factory switch. But when I was checking out the full up and down switches on the spoiler they wern't adjusted properly. Haven't had time to adj switches or even build the circuit (did get the parts). I won't build the circuit unless the switches work. Could always time the up and down.

I would like to see a video on the active A wing in the works on a car driving, I have not yet seen one of these wings move since I have a stealth. if anyone knows of a link to a video please post it, or if you have a vid e-mail it to me.

I would also like to get my rear to work. But I just removed my whole front AA and the motor and of crouse it was not pluged in. Becuase the plgus where pretty torn up. Looks like they melted or soemthing.

But i would like to regain my rear wing. Could i just buy some new plugs and slipce them in and see if that would work. Hmm i wounder if Mitsu would sell those or would have to get them froma parts car.

How would you do that? I don't have a serivice manual to go off of. I also don't have any active aero up front.
