Thanks to the help from this board, I was able to install my piezo without any difficulties, now on to a new project :D

I am starting to mount actuators (pumps) on my doors so that when my Clifford 600 arms itself, it locks the doors, and unlocks them when I disarm.  The mounting part seems to be rather straight forward, but I'll need some help with the wiring of the actuators to the Concept 600.  A few questions for starters:

1- My actuators have a green and blue wire.  I was expecting the standard RED / black wire combination, but I started to think that maybe one wire is used for locking, the other for unlocking.  Am I right?

2- Do actuators freeze over winter and stop working?  I live in Canada, and it's not uncommon for temperates to hit -30 degrees Celsuis on some days.  I've noticed that my door is already a little harder to lock/unlock by key, so I'm worried it might cause my key to not turn fully when I want to lock/unlock should the actuators freeze up.

I won't ask about the wiring of it until I can provide more info about the alarm wires, but I do remember seeing something like 5 different cables for door locks on the 600, stuff like 'normally open', 'normally closed', etc, which I have no idea about.  I also saw a relay wiring diagram in the relay section for door actuators, is that the way I need to wire the 2 relays? 

Thanks!

Tony.

Sorry, I'm an idiot, forgot to ask one more thing...

Considering that I drive alone a lot of times, when I arm the alarm, will it lock the unlocked driver side door and unlock the locked passenger side??

1.  YES

2.  Maybe:
<<< I've noticed that my door is already a little harder to lock/unlock by key >>>
U probably should lubricate Door Lock Mechanism.

<<< will it lock the unlocked driver side door and unlock the locked passenger side??>>>

Depends how you hook it up........

Yup, some alarms have progressive unlocking. Basicaly it will unlock the driver's door on disarm then the passenger doors on the second push. If your clifford is newer, dei made, then your alarm is capable but will require programming changes.
