A couple of possibility's come to mind... Either something is jamming the track, stopping it moving up? Or a tricky rear corresponding blind switch..? Can the blind be moved by hand? Where are you roughly based??

If it's just the electrics that have failed you can just push it up...

Blind can be pushed up - it's just a bit of a pest to do and would like to fix if we can. We are in Aberdeen.

First simple test... If you can remove a switch from the passenger side & replace the corresponding switch with the faulty rear blind on the drivers side, we can rule that either out or in..??
Just remove the panel pocket with the one screw, put yer hand up & unclip the switch from behind.... See link; par 68-525A

If i remember right, if the front-most switch in the rear is removed from the back it breaks the whole circuit so the whole side wont work from the front...! (Or the switch at the rear.)

Could be worse, at least it's the driver's side.
I like to control the passenger side blinds from the front but the offside ones can stay down for ever. They don't make a 'blind' bit of difference to my ability to see out (or do I mean 'owt').
The only blind I really want to raise is the one in the sliding door. Rear passengers are only accepted on sufferance and they can either look out through the windscreen or work the blinds manually, provided that they pull them down before leaving.
