Default Headlight Actuator

I've been trying to locate the thread that has a link that explains how to rebuild the headlight actuators, I forgot what magazines website it was. I remember that there has to be some kind of grease or something that should be used so that the the seal can slip right in the rod without ripping. Does anybody remember what was used?

Default Actuator relay 1996

Can someone tell me where the "Actuator Relay" is located? My left headlight door will not operate. It works on the bench when power is applied. It goes both ways.

It is just not getting power.

Thank you.
