Sorry, Didnt mean to sound like an A**, but sometimes I must ask the obvious.  Now, is the clicking coming from the relay and or control module, or is it coming from the door lock actuators?  another-kelly has a good point about testing the actuators with a drill battery, or just plain ole 12v+ and ground, to make sure that they cycle both ways before you begin to look for deeper problems in the wiring.  If they work, try straight wiring them to the relays with a short piece of wire and bypassing the wiring through the vehicle.  If still no luck, you may have to do the unthinkable, and unhook everything and start over.  It sucks, and its a major PITA, but sometimes you can overlook something simple.  It has happened to me many times, too many to be proud of in fact.  As far as the two power wires, I would follow draasch's advice and split the wires and hook to different power sources, as long as they are both good high amperage 12 volt constants.  Good Luck.
If it don't fit, Force it.
If it breaks, You needed a new one anyway!

For each and every one of you who have read this post or answered, I greatly appreciate you interest and responses.

I have attempted everything.  I have rewired, pulled the modules from underneath the dash  and rewired.  I have wired the actuators to a 12 volt battery and they work just fine.  when everything is hooked up the modules just click away and the actuators are 'frozen'.  I guess the only thing left to do is attempt to call their tech service tomorrow morning and listen to them tell me the exact same things that you-all have done and that the installation problems are my fault and not the equipments.

thanks again - everyone.  - for grins and giggles - when I finally get this process completed, I will post what was wrong so that someone else can benefit from these problems.

This is just a follow-up to the previous message.  This morning I talked to the customer service reps with ICDynamics and asked them about the 'clicking' noise from both of the modules.  To make a long story short, they told me that the directions were wrong and that te 'white' and 'brown' wires that are marked 'Do Not Use' on the directdions are really supposed to be grounded.  After grounding these two wires, everything works fine. 

Hope nobody else has these frustrating problems.

once I did this everything worked. good luck to each who have these same problems.
