Thanks for the quick reply. I don't hear any unusual sounds – just silence when I try to use the sun blind switch. The car battery seems fine, no recent replacements or issues there. Any thoughts based on that?

Given the absence of unusual sounds and a stable battery condition, the likelihood of a defective sun blind motor increases significantly. While a thorough diagnostic procedure is always recommended, the symptoms you describe align with a failing motor. My recommendation would be to proceed with a professional inspection at a reputable workshop. Attempting a self repair without proper equipment and expertise could potentially exacerbate the problem or introduce further complications.

Alright, I appreciate the confirmation. Took it to the workshop as suggested, and it was indeed the sun blind motor. 330€ later, the interior accessory is working perfectly again. Thanks for your help.

I am familiar with the Skoda Citigo, though not specifically the electric variant. A similar issue presented itself in a petrol model I encountered. First, could you confirm if you hear any unusual sounds when attempting to operate the sun blind? A faint clicking or grinding might indicate a partial motor failure. Furthermore, has the vehicle's battery been recently replaced or experienced any significant discharge events? Such occurrences can sometimes introduce spurious errors in the vehicle's electronic control units.
