i have a viper 790xv alarm system i installed, i have a 1999 honda accord(4 door), one of my doors has an aftermarket actuator installed(factory one had died on me) and the other 3 doors still have the factory door actuators, whenever i'm tryin to lock/unlock sometimes the doors lock/unlock sometimes they dont, now i've gotten to the point where the door that has the aftermarket actuator doesn't lock at all, i've got the unlock/lock wires(blue/green) from the alarm brain wired str8 to my factory unlock/unlock wires, i am wondering would the DEI 451 module solve my problem. THZ

P.S. the remote does respond that the alarm has armed/disarmed itself so i know the remote is communicating with the brain.

P.S. all other functions of the alarm system works except the doors

Probably not. If an actuator fails like that, either its motor went bad, or it tore loose from its mounting (this would be the first thing I'd suspect).

But it could be the motor shorting out, drawing so much power that the other motors sometimes can't get enough...

Either way, a 451M won't fix the problem...

(This is all just a guess, if that wasn't completely obvious :)
