Puma Sun Blind Failure

Alright, Ford Puma (2021 diesel) owners, lend me your ears! My sun blind's gone bonkers. It's like it's allergic to retracting – gets stuck halfway, refuses to budge, and throws an error in the system. Mileage is sitting pretty at 244661 km. Anyone else wrestled with this sun protection demon?

Sounds like the motor's given up the ghost. Is it making any noise when you try to operate it? Sometimes you can hear a faint whirring or clicking even if it's jammed. If it's totally silent, chances are the motor's toast. Is the error message specific?

Good shout about the motor noise! Yeah, it's silent as the grave when I try to use it. The error message is pretty generic, just says 'Sunblind Malfunction'. Is there anything I can check myself before throwing money at it?

Right, silent motor and generic error points squarely at a dead motor. Honestly, for something like that, unless you're confident with auto electrics, you're best off getting it sorted professionally. Messing with it could make things worse and more expensive!

Cheers for the advice! Took it to a local workshop, and you nailed it – sunblind motor was kaput. 330€ later and it's all sorted. Appreciate the help!
