door lock actuators

i was wondering how to hook up doorlock actuators.  i have never had to use them in any alarms i have done before.  i got a 91 honda civic coming in next week for alarm/keyless/remote start.  it does not have power locks so i have to use actutors for it.  the DLA's have 2 wires, one green and one blue coming out of it.  could someone tell me how these things are hooked up?  thanks

first of all those actuator are reverse polarity motors. look at actuator/reverse polarity good luck!!!Houston,TX

ok, that doesnt look too hard to do, thanks for the help.  i guess the only tricky part would be mounting the actuator.

i dont quite understand your ?....but i assume youre asking about the relay diagram... the green and blue wire: both intend for (-) input. theyre not for rest at ground, theyre input for a switch or unlck/lck from alarm unit. theyre not for +12volt the two 87 should be fused keep askin if you dont understand good luck!!!Houston,TX

but doesnt one of the wires coming from the actuator have to see +12v and the other pulsed -12V?

No they both rest at ground, when you hit lock one of the wires goes +12V, when you hit unlock the other wire goes +12V. The motor isn't polar. When one wire has power and the other has ground it will move one way and when they are swapped the motor will move the other way .Certified Security Specialist

Always check info with a digital multimeter.

reference to the above link. hey auex, hes talkin about the alarm unlock/lock output(blue and green wire), not the 87a. 87a is rest at ground hmm...if its not polar then the motor wont do anything then? am i missin out on something? Houston,TX

It looks like he was talking about the actuator itself. As far as polar, the actuator doesn't care which wire is positive and which wire is negative. There is no specific wire for +12V and ground.Certified Security Specialist

so i guess i can just touch to the battery and figure out which wire needs to see +12v to lock and then it would be the other one that needs +12v to unlock.  just dont wanna have it backwards.  and both wires rest at ground.  oh and the blue and green wires i meant werent the lock/unlock wire outputs from the alarm.  those are the two wires that are on the actuator.
