Default Issues with my electric bolsters

I just got my Z255 out of storage and I was going to replace the radio bezel and before I did I tried all the toggles to make sure everything was working. The captains chair went back and forth as it should and then only went forward no matter which way I hit the toggle. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't move at all. I took the toggle out and tested the power. It has constant power going in. When the toggle is pressed each way it generates power going out. Could the solenoid have burned up? If so where can I find a new one.
This of course had to happen now when I am trying to get it all ready to sell it.

    The original power seat actuators were made by Todd Enterprises, but I don't believe they sell these anymore. I'm not sure if it can be repaired, or if replacing it with something else would be a better option. Even if Todd Enterprises isn't making them anymore, someone has to, as I believe other boats like Baja, Donzi, Foutain, etc (with bolster seats) have power actuators, so someone's got to make one! Keep us updated if you find anything out...

    I am having the same problem. Did you ever find replacement?
