i currently have a 5 wire actuator power door lock kit with module installed on my 2 door car.  the module only has 7 wires comming out of it.  1 wire is positive(red), ground (black) splits into 3, one goes to frame and other 2 goes to the locks, and the remaining 4 wires (blue, green, brown, white) splits into 8 and 4 for each lock.  its got a remote, central locking and everything.  however, i want to install a alarm onto the existing setup with all the functions intacted but no where in this site could i find information about hooking up 5 wire actuators.  im a newbie so im not quite sure what im doing.  o yea, the alarm has 2 wires for controlling lock and unlock, one blue and one green. thanks in advance

Hi,
depending on your alarm, it will hook up up in one of two ways.
By your description, it sounds like the alarm does not have on-board central locking relays. This means the two wires you described will be low current, negative output. They will rest at a floating 12volts, and one will pulse to ground when arming. The other wire will do the same upon disarming.

Wire the green from the alarm to the white of the central lock module. Wire the blue of the alarm to the brown of the central lock module.
You may need to disconnect the white,brown and black wires from the 5 wire door motors, and just run the alarms locking wires only onto the above.

You will need to use a DMM to verify the outputs on each wire for the lock/unlock cycles if you don`t already have the pinouts for the module.  The blue and green wires from your alarm (if it is a recent model) probably flip-flop +12v/ground for lock/unlock.  You will have to assess what signal you need and diode isolate the wires accordingly.  Check your install manual/booklet for details...  Hope this helps :)
