Great video, Ben. Made it easy to replace the actuator. SOooo, I replaced it and the new one worked for about 10 cycles and stopped. Sent it back in and ordered another from a different source. this one worked for about 2 weeks. Now it doesn't work any longer. Looks like it also has blown the 10A fuse labeled ECC (on the left side of the dash). I've heard that there are two fuses or a fuse and a breaker. Can you shed light on this?
