Sun Blind info
« on: 03 January 2009, 17:18:03 »
This may help someone. My rear sunblind didn't do anything when I pressed the button on the dash, no cliks and no sign of movement. I have just had all the switches out to swap to leds and after replacing the rear blind switch the unit now works as it should.

I don't know if the switch just needed to be pulled out and put back to make a better contact or if the original bulb was blown and needed to be good for the blind to work, maybe someone with electrical knowledge can answer that?

May be worth having a look at the switch if your blind isn't working though.

I'd guess that it was to do with the switch not going back together too well after putting in LED.

Sorry, looks like I didn't explain properly. The sun blind didn't do anything in its original state.

After taking the switch apart and fitting an led the switch/blind now work okay.

Thanks anyway ;)

I understood you!  ;)
Probably a cr4ppy connection that was cleaned up a little by removing & replacing the switch. It'll be even better when it comes back out again to put a proper tungsten lamp back in!  ;D ;D ;D

Noooooooo, after all the sore finger ends I got doing them they are staying RED :)

Just got to get in the right mind to do everything else now, only done the climate units and all the switches underneath them so far.
