Freestyle sun blind issue

Hi, I'm having trouble with the sun blind in my 2005 Ford Freestyle with a gasoline engine. It's got about 200k km on it. The sunblind has stopped retracting and extending properly; it just gets stuck. I also pulled the error memory and there's an error stored related to the sunblind. I suspect the motor is defective. Has anyone else experienced this?

Good day. I understand you are experiencing issues with the sun blind in your Ford Freestyle. To better understand the situation, could you elaborate on the specific error code you retrieved from the error memory? Knowing the exact code may provide valuable insights into the underlying problem.

Thanks for the quick reply. The error code is B1317. Does that shed any light on it? I have the repair manual but I cannot seem to find the error listed there. Is there any chance the motor of the sun blind could be defective? It feels like it's not getting enough power.

Thank you for providing the error code. While I do not have specific experience with that particular code, it does seem to point towards a potential issue with the motor's functionality. Given the symptoms you described and the age of the vehicle, it's plausible the motor is indeed defective. I would recommend a visit to a qualified workshop to confirm the diagnosis and obtain a quote for the repair.

Appreciate the confirmation. I'll take it to a workshop to get it checked out. Looks like the motor needs to be replaced. Quoted 330€ for the repair. Thanks for the help!
