Tacuma Rear Sun Blind Stuck
Summary of the thread
The rear sun blind in a 2009 Chevrolet Tacuma is stuck halfway and won't retract or extend, with an active error memory suggesting a potential motor defect. Initial checks confirmed that fuses are intact, but wiring issues remain a possibility. A similar issue in a Volvo V70 was due to brittle wiring, but given the error code, motor failure is more likely. Professional diagnosis and repair are recommended, with a quoted repair cost of 330€.

Fuses were the first thing I checked, all are fine. Wiring connections – good idea. Any specific areas on the Volvo where you found the wiring problematic? A potential weak spot? Otherwise, it's like searching for a needle in a haystack.

In my Volvo, the wiring loom leading to the sun blind motor had become brittle and cracked due to repeated flexing, especially near the pivot point of the blind. However, given the error code and your fuse check, motor failure is more probable. I advise seeking professional diagnosis; replacing the motor yourself might be more involved than anticipated.

Appreciate the insight. I'm heading for a workshop visit. Got a quote of 330€ for the repair, which seems reasonable. Thanks again!

I had a similar sun blind malfunction on my old Volvo V70. The symptoms match my experience. Before going further, did you check the fuses and wiring connections? It could be a simple electrical issue, though the stored error suggests a more serious fault.
