The Actuator gear teeth (you can see the gear looking in the open end of the Actuator) which are plastic get broken. I had a front Actuator just dead in the water recently (electrical issue). Corvettenutz has used Actuators in stock.
The gear looks fine from what is visible, don't know if there's hidden cracks.
92-95 front Actuator part # is 22114407 (rear is part # 22114337). I actually had an extra Actuator #22114407 (92-95) which worked fine on my 91'.

The 89-91 front Actuator part # is 22075651 (rear is part # 22075652) . The 89-91 Actuators and 92-95 Actuators are interchangeable as far as I know (the difference between Rear and Front Actuators is the length of the attached electrical cable).

FX3 Actuator Rebuild TIPS
Was hoping someone had the manual, I'd like to know what pins do what on the connector (maybe when one pin has voltage or ground it drives the motor CW and another pin does CCW. I guess I could disconnect the connector and meter each pin out, PIA though) . Since it's probably broke I'll take the one apart and see if anything is visibly wrong. Hopefully I can repair it instead of buying a new one. If you don't mind me asking, how much does an actuator cost? Thanks for info, you da man. .
