I just finished installing the 530T in my 97 Explorer, and it doesn't seem to work correctly. When I turn the key on and use the buttons, they work fine (express up, express down).
When I arm or disarm the alarm system, they move about 1-2 inches, and stop. If I short the up or down wires to ground (to manually trigger them), they do the same. I've adjusted the dip switches to the low, medium and high settings, to no avail.
I have the two 'ground path' wires directly grounded, I also have the 'low current' ground wire directly grounded. Have I wired this incorrectly?

What's the colour of the "low current ground wire" and where have you grounded it to, i.e. in the car or in the doors?

The low current ground is a grey wire on the h2 harness (looks like about a 20 gauge wire), and it's grounded to the frame

Read the instructions! The grey wire is used to by-pass sensors, nothing to do with operation.
When you say grounded to the frame, are you talking about the vehicle frame or the door frame. The wires to be grounded are black and violet/black.
Use a heavy gauge power source such as the battery or fuse box battery supply.

Ahhh, so the grey should tie into the alarm somewhere.
I disconnected it, and i have the same issue. The drivers side has a one touch down, but I can't figure out how to bypass it. Could that be the issue? The passenger side has no one touch but also doesn't work

Again, read the instructions. Wiring should go directly to the motor wiring in each door. Do not ground in the door.

Each wire is attached directly to the motor, or switch, as per the instructions. The only thing grounded tto the frame is the black and purple wires

Can I get an answer from you about the frame? Door frame or an existing bolt in the car? And it's the motor wires in each door, yes?

Yes, door frame. I ran a bolt from the frame of the vehicle to the door with a jumper wire, so I have a solid ground connection.
The module is inside the door, despite the directions saying not to do so to avoid water damage (I've got the module inside the plastic liner, up against the vinyl door cover, so I'm not concerned about water permeating the window seal, the plastic liner below the window, and the foam/plastic liner on the door).
And the wires for the drivers window run to the motor, the wires for the passenger window (which has no express down or up feature) are run to the switch on the drivers side control (small gauge wires) and the wires that run to the motor (heavy gauge wires).

So undo everything, mount the 530t in the car, take the passenger side as well as the driver's side to each motor and run all power and ground direct to battery then sit down and read the instructions properly.
