  • Short circuit in the power circuit, creating overvoltage in the area

How to Fix

  1. Immediately check the voltage of the on-board network with the engine running (the norm is up to 14.7 V)
  2. If the voltage is higher than 15 V, immediately check the generator and voltage regulator
  3. Diagnose the generator with an oscilloscope or load tester
  4. Check the power supply circuit of the blinds for incorrect connections.
  5. If the mains voltage is normal, check the blinds power relay
