One ford dealer said the thing about the modification to the BEM. Another Ford place was much more helpful and has faxed an instructional sheet to my mechanic, informing him how to action a minor rewiring task that needs to be done to fix this exact issue that I have described. The mechanic said he'd already fitted the patch harness that came with the new actuator, but the Ford guy said this is something else that also needs to be done. Seems the Ford guy was aware that the new actuators are slightly different from the originally installed equipment, and this re-wire bit is the fix. Hopefully, this will see it sorted.
