electric blind not working

just a little thing, but noticed that one of the blinds stopped working today! - its not the switch as the back one opens and closes of the front switch, but not the forward one - is there a fuse for the blind or is it likely the motor has gone?
THANKS!

The fuse covers both blinds on the same side, so it looks like a duff motor or hopefully a loose wiring connection.

Check the individual switch connections to that blind, may have got damp/oxidised which will then stop the blind working if that switch isn'y connected properly.
You may have to take the relevant lower panel off to get at it ( or the upper panel if it's the sliding door one), make sure any seatbelt or seat fixings are removed & just pull it off, trying not to lose those damn metal clips, it's actually quite easy

Hope it's not the motor, but even that isn't too hard to remove & replace if it has gone, as long as you can find a spare one.
