Rear blind.

FLYING BANANA · 19th February 2023, 17:49

Bananas rear blind has stopped working. I’m assuming it could a fuse. Can anyone tell what fuse I’m looking for. The blind was fitted by Klarzy aka Peter Chilton.
Or if not fuse any idea what it could be?

Tap the parcel shelf Bob, the motors are well known for sticking, worst case is the casing around the motor has cracked.

My blind has stopped working too. I can hear a click in the back when pressing the button, so presumably it's getting power. Anyway, this post might be of interest to you: https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...ad.php?t=52924

My blind sticks from time to time. The easiest way to unstick it I’ve found is to open the boot and after removing the Harmon Kardon subwoofer if you have one, look for the centre screw and nut assembly in the upper underside of the parcel shelf area in the boot, undo the nut to leave the long screw thread and give that a tap with the hammer. That jolts mine back into life every time, without having to undo loads of rear seat trim and prizing up a gap in the parcel shelf to squeeze a hammer or long screwdriver in to try and tap it back into life.

Many thanks for all the tips. Will give it a slight tap to see if it works.
