most of the time in the automotive industry a 2 wire actuator is used for adding power door locks....it works by either pushing or pulling the object...if you pulse ground to either of the wires it will push or pull......if you wanted an actuator to actually lift up a door of some sort, you need to search for a linear actuator, which would have a longer play in it....similar to the springs in a strom door or the hatchback of a car, only motorised.GL

here is a pic of a standard 2wire actuator I installed on a 98 cavalier to add power locks to an alarm

Good material

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.
