Hi,

I am having trouble with the rear passenger's blind. It will go down ok using both the drivers switch and its on switch but won't go up. All other blinds are working fine.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

No idea on the electrical side but you can push them up & down manually if necessary.

Hopefully someone will be along with suggestions on the wiring.

When you use the drivers switch the pair should operate, on the same side, does the other one work OK ? Or is it just the individual one that doesn't work ?

When I use the drivers they both go down and only the side door goes up when you use the drivers switch. The up on the rear passenger doesn't work either.

Hi,
my blinds are sometimes temperamental, and it seems that the individual switches suffer a bit internal corrosion due to their infrequent use. I spray some electrical cleaner into and around the switch, and give it a good waggle, and it seems to work ok again. I have had the dash ones out and disconnected and sprayed WD40 into them.

As above the switches are the most common problem they are not well sealed and get dusty especially the drivers ones, trying operating them several times and a squirt of a cleaning fluid can do wonders, WD40 if nothing, else but the residue is sticky and collects more dust in the longer term

Otherwise it means getting the blinds out to inspect and check the wiring;

Thanks.

I swapped over a working switch with the non-work switch which made no difference. Is the drivers switch hard to get out?

Just pushes out from the rear. Does it work ok from the relevant rear switch? If the rear switch is faulty / unplugged, it will not work correctly from the front controls.

The switch works going down but not up. Swapped it and still doesn't work. Thinking about it, I don't see the drivers switch having anything to do with it. What's your thoughts?

Thanks

Provided the other one works then the front switch is NOT the problem, however it could be the individual rear switch wiring either too or from the rear switch or the blind motor itself. The only way to diagnose further is with a meter and I would start at the rear switch itself and progress to the blind motor, checking for the voltage to reverse when the switch is operated.
