When you put 12 volts to which terminal of the relay?        What kind of switch did you use?   The only thing I can see that will cause the relays to energize when 12 volts is applied is the following.  If you used 2 seperate push button switches, and they were of the normally closed type of switch.  If you did use pushbutton switches, you need to use normally open switches.

Yes, when I put 12 volts to relay with no switches added, they click.

If they are clicking when voltage is applied, and you have no switches on the end of the wire, the wire HAS to be grounded somewhere.  The wires that go to the switches,  remove them from the relay and see if it still clicks when powered up.  If it does not click with the wires disconnected, there is a short to ground on the wires.

Could this be caused if the alarm wire running to relay is a neg signal?

The alarm does have a negative door lock output.  But it should only have ground on it when attempting to lock or unlock the doors.  If it always has ground on the wires, there is a problem.

Well Tomarrow I will double check all wires and connections and switch out the relays and post my findings.

All looks good and wired correctly. Is there a way to have alarm wire trigger an other relay to trigger the relays I already have wired?

I've had this problem before. The 5 wire actuators are crap. Cut the brown and whit and whatever off (or just disconnect them) and use only the blue and green wires. The other 3 wires are basically a "switch" built into the actuator. But this will not give a pulse that a relay needs, they give out a constant ground when the actuators are moved. Then if both actuators arent aligned exactly in sync with each other, that wil cause problems too. Just use the blue and green wires like I did, you be happier and have less headaches. Let us know how that works out for you.
