Peugeot 407 rear sun blind failure

Hi, I'm having a weird problem with my 2008 Peugeot 407 (gasoline engine). The rear sun blind just stopped working. It won't go up or down, it's just stuck. I've checked the fuses, and they seem fine. Also, I scanned the car, and there's an error code related to the sun blind motor. Has anyone else experienced this?

The rear sun blind of a 2008 Peugeot 407 has stopped working, remaining stuck without any movement. The fuses have been checked and are fine, but a diagnostic scan revealed an error code related to the sun blind motor. The problem is likely due to a faulty motor circuit. It is suggested to have a professional handle the repair, as attempting a DIY fix could lead to further damage.

Hey there, I have a 407 as well, and this sounds awfully familiar. When you say "stuck," do you mean completely unresponsive, or does it try to move and then get stuck? Mine was making a whirring noise, then nothing. Was the error message specific enough to point to the motor itself?

Yeah, completely unresponsive now, no whirring or anything. The error code was something about a faulty motor circuit, so it sounds like the motor is the prime suspect. Is it a huge job to replace, or something a reasonably competent DIYer could tackle?

Okay, if there's no sound at all, and the code points to the motor, it's almost certainly the motor. I wouldn't attempt it yourself, unless you're really comfortable with taking apart interior trim. You might damage something and end up with a bigger bill. I'd suggest getting a quote from a workshop. Prepare for disappointment, though, it's probably not cheap.

Thanks for the advice. I suspected as much. I got a quote from a local shop: 330€ including parts and labor. Seems steep, but better than making things worse myself! Appreciate the help!
