i have a 99 honda accord with a viper 790xv alarm system, on my drivers door i installed an aftermarket acuator(my factory actuator died), im using 2 relays as described in the installation guide(one for lock and one for unlock), the wire thats coming off the relay for locking the door do i run that wire str8 to the lock wire on the alarm, and do the same thing for the unlock wire for teh second relay. reason being sometimes the door locks and unlocks sometimes it the door doesn't now it doesn't do neither, wondering if the alarm sends enought signal to the relays to power the actuator.

thats how i have it wired, i think it might be the actuator itself?? so basically i can run the alarm lock output wire str8 to the relay, without a diode, resistor or anything else.

Correct.

You can check to see if the actuator are working or not by connecting a -ground and +12V to the actuator wire itself. If it moves the actuator are fine. Then the focus of the problem could be relate to the relay setup, lose gounding, fuses to the +12V constant, the relay itself, and the alarm unit powerlock and unlock not working. Check them out. They are in no particular order. Hopefully, it will pinpoint you to the right direction.
