Suzuki Swift Sunshade Malfunction, Common Fix Guide

I had a similar issue with my 2014 Suzuki Swift diesel last summer. With some experience working on basic car interior components, I first checked the fuse but that wasnt the problem. The sun visor motor had completely failed. The window visor mechanism was stuck and wouldnt respond to any controls. After checking online forums without finding a DIY solution, I took it to a workshop. They diagnosed a faulty motor in the car blind system. The entire mechanism needed replacement since individual parts werent available. Total cost was 330€ including labor and parts. The repair took about 2 hours. Since then, the sun protection system has worked flawlessly. The workshop explained this is a known weak point in these models. To better assist with your specific case: What error code is showing? Can you hear the motor trying to work when pressing controls? Does the sunshade move at all or is it completely stuck? Have you noticed any unusual noises before it stopped working? These details would help determine if youre facing the same issue I had.

Thanks for sharing your experience and questions. My sun blind just stopped working suddenly last week at 70901 KM. I can hear a faint clicking when pressing controls, but the interior accessory remains completely stuck. No unusual noises preceded the failure. The error code reads B2791, which appears related to the window visor mechanism. Im concerned about repair costs, as the car just had its annual service two weeks ago where no issues were noted with the sun visor system. The clicking sound suggests it might be the same motor failure you experienced. Did your workshop mention if this is a common failure point for our model year?

Thanks for those additional details about your Swift's sunshade issue. Your symptoms actually sound identical to what I experienced, right down to that same clicking noise from the car blind system. The B2791 error code and clicking sound strongly indicate motor failure, exactly like my case. When my sunshade stopped working, it also made that faint clicking noise while remaining completely stuck. In discussing this with the workshop during my repair, they confirmed the sun visor motor typically fails around 65000-75000 KM in these models. The timing of your failure at 70901 KM fits this pattern perfectly. The sudden nature of the failure is also typical, mine went from working fine to completely stuck within a single day. The clicking noise is the motor trying but failing to engage the interior accessory mechanism. Since your symptoms match mine exactly, you should expect similar repair costs around 330€. The good news is once replaced, the new sunshade mechanism tends to be more reliable than the original unit. Few points to consider: Get it checked soon, as a stuck sun blind can strain other components, Confirm the workshop has experience with Swift sunshade repairs, Request they check the wiring while replacing the motor, Ask about any warranty on the replacement parts

The clicking sound and error code definitely point to the same issue you experienced. Ill contact the workshop tomorrow to schedule the UV protection system repair. The 330€ estimate helps set my expectations for the sunshade repair costs. Good point about finding a shop with specific Swift experience. Since my regular workshop just did the annual service without noting any sun protection issues, I might try the dealership instead for this repair. They should be more familiar with these known failure points. Its frustrating that such an essential interior accessory fails so predictably around 70000 KM, but at least the replacement unit seems more reliable. Ill make sure they check the complete car blind system, including wiring, during the repair. Thanks again for sharing your experience. It really helped confirm my suspicions about the motor being the culprit and gave me a clear picture of what to expect with the repair process.
