I'm in the process of adding door lock acuators to a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 regular cab. The truck already has a Viper 550 ESP installed in it, and at the time of installation didn't have the extra funds available to have locks done on truck. I've purchased 2 acuators and a 451M on ebay, and understand how to wire up one door. As you can see the truck didn't have power locks installed, and I'm not going to use internel power switches. Alarm will control lock, and unlock operation.

How do you incorperate the other door lock acuator into the 451? I was told by someone to run the wires parallel. Does that mean to split the green wire to both green wires on both acuators, and do the same with the blue wire also. Also noticed there are 2 leads going to chassis ground. (WHITE/ black) &(brown black) Can these be grounded in the same location, or do they have to be seperated. Next; does the 15 amp breaker supply adequate protection for this application. Can you splice into the same wire that is feeding the alarm? (violet wire)

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

aftermarket actuaters are generally reverse polarity (also known as 5wi). Since you say there are two ground wires coming from them, then they are probably positive trigger. If they are positive trigger then, yes, you may connect the grounds at the same point. You need two relays.

1st relay  85- (-) lock pulse from alarm  86- 12v constant  30- 12v constant  87a- N\A    87-actuator lock wire

2nd relay 85- (-) unlock pulse from alarm  86- 12v constant  30- 12v constant   87a- N\A  87-actuator unlock wire

Reverse polarity actuators have two wires coming from them, typically a blue and a green, one is lock and the other is unlock. what you have to do is get two relays, one for lock and one for unlock. 

1st relay   85- (-) lock pulse from alarm    86-  12v constant    30- blue wire from actuator  87a- ground     87- 12v constant

2nd relay 85- (-) unlock pulse from alarm  86- 12v constant  30- green wire form actuator  87a- ground   87- 12v constant

you do wire the actuators in parralel so you wire the blue wires from both doors to the same relay and the green wires from both doors to the same relay. the wire colours from the actuators may be different so just wire them up test which colour is lock and which is unlock before you connect the alarm wires to the relays. 15amps should be sufficient for 2 doors, you may want to use a higher fused source if you do more then two doors since actuators do need a fair amount of current.

""Also noticed there are 2 leads going to chassis ground. (WHITE/ black) &(brown black) Can these be grounded in the same location, or do they have to be seperated.""   The same place for ground is fine....

""Next; does the 15 amp breaker supply adequate protection for this application. Can you splice into the same wire that is feeding the alarm? (violet wire)""   Yes, if you are getting power from the ignition switch, that's a fine spot to get power for your actuators. The 15 amp fuse will run two actuators just fine...
