door actuator

Tommy is suggesting that a wire may have broken in the door cable.

Ohh, well it never had power door locks to start off with so nothing to break. I found a set of cheap 5 wire actuators and the control box for 25 bucks so I will see how those perform. But I will for sure install and MES brand one on my other car that one deserves it. What do you guys suggest for a proximity and tilt sensor?

Radar/proximity sensors are nice...Might get some falsing from it...But every step of security you add is probably going to help...I dont even know the brand of the ones we use...Seems like i call the distributor,he ships it out,and then install it...So someone else can add model #'s...Dont think i have one left anyway...! But for the most part you just need to have it sensitive to someone reaching in car...As opposed to standing around vehicle...As the outside coverage is normally where you get falses from...! I havent done a tilt sensor in probably like 4 yrs...So i end here...!M.E.C.P & First-Class

Okay, I got the actuator kit. I think I installed everything correctly but it won't lock or unlock. When I am plugging in the wire harness into the control module, the motors retract but that seems to be the only life I can get out of them. Aren't they supposed to open or close if i move one lock? They also don't lock or unlock when I plug in brown and white wire from the control module into the alarms blue and green lock output. What gives?

Ok so maybe relays would have been easier...  Maybe list Model # of unit...What alarm/remote start are you installing...?A link to there manual would be great...! Do you have a meter...?M.E.C.P & First-Class

I played with the wires some more and connected and reconnected everything, now the motors are fully extended and if i try to push the driver side motor, both motors will retract then go back up. If I press the lock key on the alarm it will retract the motors then the motors go back up. The alarm is a ScyTek Astra 777.

Door lock actuators are not a constant duty device.  Pull a fuse out or something.  They will not last if they constantly pull one way or another.Let's Go Brandon Brown. Congratulations on your first Xfinity Series Win. LGBFJB

Heres a video of it in action. What should I do? Do you think the control box is faulty? The first part shows the connections to the actuators and the other part is the red and green wires into the control box's lock and unlock output. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v446/micrors4racer/?action=view¤t=1251423414.flv

great point...Lets dis-connect til you figure it out...But either lock or unlock has a constant output/input instead of a pulse...M.E.C.P & First-Class
