I will answer in order...No, No, Yes, and No. I could also throw in a maybe to be safe. 1. Actually it never occurred to me to check the voltage after I reinstalled the actuators. But it should be easy enough to do with some jumper leads and check the voltage of the output while the ignition in the "Run"position. 2. When you refer to checking if the spool valves returning to center easily, Do you mean pushing or pulling on the where the actuator connects to the control valve, or the movement in the gear driven arm of the actuator? Sorry if that is a dumb question <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> 3. I have found it easier to work on when the front panel is out of the machine. and yes, from previous posts I have read, I have tried to ensure that I tighten the actuators up evenly. 4. No, I have only swapped the cable connectors in trying to determine if the fail was a result of the actuator or related to the wiring harness. However, I like the idea and as I am now a professional at removing the steering panel (have it down to less than 5 minutes) I might just do it for shits and giggles. As for the spool valve seals leaking? (Hummm just answered my own dumb question from number 2) They are dry and clean. I assume that when I remove the actuator, the position of the spool valve is in the neutral position? Can I simply just gently push or pull on the valve rod? Ok, I will follow your suggestions tomorrow morning and let you all know what I find. Oh, and while I am at it, when I type my post and or reply, I space it out so it is easier to read, as yours is... but when I post it, it removes all my editing and leaves it looking like one long run on paragraph. What is the trick you used in writing your reply?</p></blockquote><p></p>
