If the actuator motor aka servo under the hood is bad, it will zap the electronic mystery box under the dash. If you have an old actuator motor/servo, you should consider replacing/rebuilding that first, then the electronic box. BTW, I have had one of the electric cords that power the actuator motor chafe through and ground out, zapping my electronic controller. It didn't do anything to the motor and I don't remember if there was even a fuse involved, I think maybe not. I wrapped the entire length of the actuator motor electric line with 1/4" fuel hose, which I slit lengthwise and zip tied over the cord, so it wouldn't happen again. Replaced the electronic box, and voila, works again. I have had as much luck buying second hand off ebay as I have had with getting mine rebuilt or buying rebuilt. Second-hand off ebay is usually around $50. I would buy a new or rebuilt actuator motor or even look into rebuilding my own, probably just needs cleaning and brushes but an alternator shop should be able to fix it for you.
