Electric Front Screen Roller Blind (1 Viewer)

[Abacist]

As always two steps forward and one back!

Removed, stripped and repainted bonnet lock mounting plates as they were rusting badly.

Rewired the reading lights over the cab seats and then replaced the light units themselves and all working again, at last.

Came to get the van out this morning and the front roller blind won’t go up on the motor so cranked it half way up manually to get it out onto the drive. Motor works to lower it but doesn’t work to lift it!

Any ideas anyone?

You seem to be having electric problems make me think it’s connected strange since you had it serviced?

The cab seat reading lights are an old problem which I have only just got around to fixing so should be unconnected.

I would guess the motor works by receiving a pos & neg for one way and a neg & pos for the other way, therefore I would suspect the switch or wiring.

The switch is in the bank to the right of the driver (R/H drive) and only one connection to the bottom of a Printed Circuit Board under that switch which rocks one way to raise and the other way to lower. I’ll have to see if I dare delve any further!

Had that bank of switches all apart today to clean and check. 2 printed circuit boards behind the switches so one must be faulty as cleaning the switches themselves made no difference!

Why oh why do they need an electric motor?

Our quite substantial blind goes up and down quite easily manually
