Got new bongo with electric blinds but rear one doesn't work. Knew this when I bought it. The previous owner Thinks that each blind has it's own separate motor. Is this correct or is it just a fuse somewhere.
Either way anyone got any advice of fixing, part required, cost etc, well anything that might help really.
Thanks

Re: Rear driver side electric blind
Each blind has its own frame and integrated motor unit.
There are 2 fuses, one for each side. Presumably, as you have one not working and one working it isn't a fuse issue.
If you disconnect the control switch in the rear side panel, the blind won't work from the front dashboard switch - possibly the connector has become disconnected, or the switch is duff. If you remove the wee tray from the side panel (one screw in the middle), you can get your hand in to check. There is also a connector on the motor unit, which is at the bottom in the middle on all 3 except the one by the side door - it's central at the top.
This thread has a video showing how to remove the blinds, and some follow up by myself, Kirsty and others showing various states of dismantling.
It's not too tricky, but in cold weather you are more likely to break the plastic fittings on the side panels. You can safely pull down / push up the electric blinds, just be gentle with them.
