Firm ride control problems

I replaced my front shocks (basically entire front suspension) and about a month later my firm ride control light goes out. Now my car is floating. I replaced the firm switch and nothing. I checked the plug that plugs into the actuator with a test light and it seems as if its not getting power. Are these actuators known to go bad?

Supposedly, when an individual actuator has an issue, the 'Firm' light will flash in a sequence that indicates which corner(s) to check.

There is a fusible link in the 'Power Control Box', next to the battery, that is labeled 'I - Auto Shock' ...might check that.

The ARC computer is in the tray under the rear deck, behind the seats, as I recall. Consider swapping in a known good spare if all else fails.
