Corsa Sun Blind Failure
Summary of the thread
The sun blind in a 2021 Vauxhall Corsa has stopped functioning, remaining stuck without retracting or extending, and an error is stored. The initial suspicion is a defective motor. Before replacing the motor, it is suggested to check the fuses related to the car's interior functions to rule out simple electrical faults. After checking the fuses and finding them intact, the issue likely points to a motor defect, leading to a decision to seek professional repair.

Thanks! I haven't checked the fuses yet, good point. Which specific fuses should I be looking at? I'm not very familiar with car electrics, what do you mean? Is that difficult?

By 'fuses,' I am referring to small devices within your vehicle's electrical system, designed to protect circuits from overloads. Consulting your owner's manual is recommended, as it contains a fuse box diagram with specific fuse assignments for the car interior. Locate the fuse(s) associated with any interior accessories, power windows or the sunblind itself. If a fuse is blown, replacing it with one of the correct amperage is simple. However, if the new fuse also blows, it is a sign of more significant problems best left to a professional workshop.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I checked the fuses, and they seem fine. I'll take it to a workshop, they quoted about 330€ for repair. Seems like the motor is indeed defective. Thanks again!

I understand you are experiencing difficulties with your Corsa's sunblind. The symptoms you described strongly suggest an issue with the motor. Before a replacement, have you checked the fuses related to the car interior and related functions? Rule out simple electrical faults before assuming a mechanical failure.
