All of them.
I have had the actuators fail, the relay valves fail, the vacuum hoses, the vacuum valve under the dash, and possibly the headlight switch vacuum valve. That is why I went with electric actuators. After replacing everything, they still did not work exceptionally well.

See the green hoses in the previous post? they go to the front of the actuator. There is a seal in there the shape of a magicians hat. Its worth about $6 and an hour in labour. Thats what usually goes. Easy to check. Take that hose off the relay. Suck or blow on it. Forgot which it is...should make the light go up. If there is no resistance in sucking or blowing that seal is gone.
