ive searched everywhere and have a question
i have a clifford matrix I alarm system and wondered if it had onboard lock relays see the thing is i have an s10 pickup with no factory door locks period and noticed that at one time 2 wire door actuators were installed and want to connect them directly to the alarm as arm/disarm without switches do i still need to wire up relays or can i wire the actuators directly to the blue and green wires frm the 2 pin harness on the brain it notes that the blue wire is (-)unlock (+) lock and green wire is (-)lock (+) unlock

If you read further in the description I am sure it states that is a low current circuit. Are the wires pretty small in thickness? You need a circuit that can handle 12-15 amps of current for actuators (up to 4). Play it safe put the relays in properly and nothing will get damaged that way. Relays are cheaper than a new brain unit! posted_image

If it has two wires no, if 6 purple and PURPLE / black, BROWN / black, WHITE/ black blue/black and GREEN/ black then yes.
