Windshield electric sunshades for driver/pass question?

If one side works and the other doesn't that rules out a fuse problem as both come off the same fuse.


My wife had a bad habit of piling stuff on her passenger side console where the shade switch is. When I had a problem with the passenger side I pulled the shade down and took it apart, the motor had gotten so hot it started to melt the plastic. Had to physically pry the motor off the plastic. Tested the motor and it was dead so that is found the replacement in the link I previously posted. I suspect that at some point my DW put something across the console that held the switch down.

I bought 2 since that took it over the $25 for free shipping.

The wealth of information here at iRV2 is just Priceless! Its been 6-7 years for me now and am still amazed every day.


Happy Trails to all and take a bow

Excellent ideas. More shopping to do. Love the extension cord and adapter idea!
