So why does that lead you to replacing the actuators? It sounds electrical to me. Are you getting power to the switch? Is power coming out of the switch? Is power getting to the pump? Etc...

    But does power come out of both sides of the switch. You have power that comes in, and then when you activate the switch, power should come out at one end, or the other, and go to one side of the pump, or the other. Getting power to the switch is half the battle.

    After talking to customer service on the phone that I thought would be extremely unhelpful, diagnosted my problem and got me the parts. Turns out I had 2 bad solenoids and a bad switch. They now work perfectly.
