Ka sun blind failure

Hi, I have a 2012 Ford Ka diesel. The sun blind has failed at 126200 km. It neither retracts nor extends and is stuck. Error memory has a fault logged. Suspect motor failure. Anyone seen this?

I had a similar issue with my old Renault Megane. The sunshade got stuck halfway, and the motor was making a strange noise. Was the error code specific, or just a generic 'motor fault'?

The code points specifically to the sun blind motor circuit being open. Did you also have that specific error?

No, the error was more general - something about a short circuit in the motor. But the symptoms were nearly identical. Given your specific error code, it’s probably the motor. Best get it checked at a workshop.

Thanks for the info. Local shop confirmed motor failure. Repair cost: 330€. Will replace it.
