Reach up and pull down on the "locked elbow" above the four springs and pull it down. Then see if she'll work. May need adjusting,..or a hose has fallen off, or yeah could the actuator.

were you doing anything behind the dash?

i've had my dash off several times and have noticed that if i don't put it back on just right a hose gets pinched or something and the head lights pop up as soon as the car is started and they don't go down untill i loosen up the dash and reposition the hoses.

hope this helps,

Mike.
