Default FX3 Codes

I have 2 ride control codes that i cant figure out. They are 14, right front time out and 22, right rear time out. It is driving me insane. I just bought all new schocks and all used actuators and all of the actuators work when you turn the key. I switched the rear actuators and still have the same codes. Im out of ideas. If anyone can give me help that will be so great!!

Remove the actuator from the RF shock (easier to do the front than the rear shock ), and turn the ignition to "ON" Does the actuator gear turn momentarily?

If it does, disconnect the actuator and turn ignition to ON. With a DVM, measure voltage between these terminals:
Terminal E (light green/white)and ground
Terminal E and A (light green/black)
Terminal D (red/black) and A
You should see about 5 VDC in each case.

If you got that, check the shock actuator rod to see if it moves freely stop to stop with just a little friction. If that's OK, check the terminal connectors on the actuator are clean and tight. If they are good, replace the actuator. If not, replace the shock.

If you didn't get the voltage reading, check for an open wire between the connector and SRC Module. Check for clean and tight connections. If OK, replace the SRC module.

If the gear didn't turn from the first step, disconnect the actuator and connect a test light between terminal B (yellow) and C (purple) and then turn the ignition to ON. Did the light come on?

If it did, replace the actuator. If it didn't, check for a open circuit or short to ground in both motor control wires (B and C). If the wires are OK, replace the SRC module.

(This works for both front and rear codes)

I did some test and found that the wire connections at the right front actuator were dirty. And I may have a bad right rear actuator.
