Hello, I would like to ask for your opinion: I tried this test on 452 clutch actuator and when i connect 12V to the pins, it extend, when i replace the battery polarity, it will retract but when i disconnect the battery, it will extend again itself (without voltage). Is this wrong? And also only after few tests, its very very hot (you cant hold your hand on the motor housing). Thanks for your help,
The unit should not get hot, unless repeated extensions, you could try and grease inside the unit, they are prone to failure. The test only confirms if the unit is working IE extending and retracting. The unit will heat up if the mechanism is starting to seize.
i was getting sporadic times when it wouldn't go into gear. i took it off, mine has also the rivets, so put grease inside. put it back in. now i saw where the marks were when it came out, and and i used a reverse clamp to push it so it would line up... did you have to do that also or just put it in, and put the screws back in? also the plastic was really brittle and the tabs snapped of... and like a dummy i didn't mark which way it went in - i may have put it in backwards. also saw a video where a guy had software so the car would 'relearn' the clutch?? if 1 and 6 are the power, what are the colour of the wires going IN to those please?
You don't need to worry about pulling the rod in or out,using a 12v battery put 1 pos wire on number 1 and one neg wire on number six will operate the lever, just change around so so swap Ng to positive and visa versa One will push lever out the other will pull it back in don't force the lever using clamps, David
