My alarm (viper 790XV) has two wires for the locks. One wire is Negative(-) lock/Positve(+) unlock. THe other wire is Positive(+) lock/Negative(-) unlock. I have a 2 wire actuator and I only need to drive my drivers side door. How do I hook the relays to handle dual polarity wires?

Its a 1995 MX6 with a central lock type system. When the driver side door lock is flipped the passenger side mirrors it.

I have a two wire actuator I got off e-bay to install in the driver side door. I am assuming the actuator in the driver side will also controll the passenger side.

Now my alarm has two door lock wires. Each wire outputs a dual polarity and they mirror eachother. So I only need to controll one actuator off the alarm.

Basicly if I use this diagram

I have to use two wires from the alarm, and they are both dual polarity for lock and unlock. So when the unlock negative is triggered on one side of the relay a positve signal will go to the other relay. and vice versa for when I send a lock signal. Unless there is a different way to wire things? I hope that makes sense?

Maybe it would be easier if I asked how to wire a single 2 wire actuator to a Viper 790XV? Maybe someone has a wiring diagram of the viper?
