hey guys need ur help!!! i jus got a universal door lock actuator ... im planning to install 2 actuators in a mechanical lock car ... only problem when i hook up one actuator to two relays as shown in the diagrams on 12 volt i keep blowing a fuse ... the actuator works by reversing the polarity i can lock it and reverse again i can unlock it but i have to hold the position of the power or ground to make the actuator hold the  position locked or unlocked ... anwyays i was wondering if u guys have any other easier diagram to hook up 2 reverse polarity actuators and what kind of switch should i use because the car doesnt have any switches to begin w/ ... i mean can i hook up a switch from kragen that works and if so what kind ... i still plan on getting universal power door lock switches tho... jus wondering what kind of switch it  is ... so i need a diagram of door lock actuator reverse polarity locking and unlocking other than those on 12volt cause im really confused ... thanks!!!

when to much force is exerted on the actuator otherwise known as binding it will struggle to move causing it possibly to break fuse (15 A)

relays are easy once you are familiar

relay unlock

pin 85 and 87 12v fused

pin 86 alarm out

pin 30 to motor

pin 87a to ground                  do the same wiring for lock with other motor wire / alarm lock outposted_image
