I recently installed a Clifford Matrix 10.5x and an aftermarket lock actuator kit in my 1979 Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
I have everything hooked up and working properly except for the Clifford door lock harness. I read on another thread to hook it up like so:
purple and PURPLE / black to 12volts
BROWN / black and WHITE/ black to ground
blue/black and GREEN/ black to the two actuator relay wires
When I did this the lock actuators started buzzing like they were trying to actuate in both directions at the same time, so I unplugged the harness.
What is the correct way to wire this? Thanks
purple and PURPLE / black to 12volts
BROWN / black and WHITE/ black to ground
blue/black and GREEN/ black to the two actuator relay wires
Actuator relay wires? Did you install 5 wire actuators or 2 wire? Are there relays for these actuators? To clarify, the wiring above is for 2 wire actuators with no relay. If you have installed relays with your actuators then you need to disconnect the BROWN / black and WHITE/ black wires and it should work fine.

by kit do you mean you added actuators and the relay module? as a "kit"? then you only need to hook the 451M up as a standard negative trigger.....

I have 2 wire aftermarket actuators hooked up using 2 relays. Here's the diagram I'm using:
I wanted interior door lock switches as well, so I've connected the Alarm (-) Lock & Unlock Output Wires to my switches.
Here's how the Clifford harness is currently connected; I disconnected the 2 ground wires and it's still not doing anything.
purple and PURPLE / black to 12volts
blue/black to Alarm (-) Lock Output
GREEN/ black to Alarm (-) Unlock Output
(Blue/Black & GREEN/ Black are spliced in between the relay and interior door lock switch)
Sorry I meant:
purple and PURPLE / black to 12volts
GREEN/ black to Alarm (-) Lock Output
blue/black to Alarm (-) Unlock Output
Here's a diagram I made:
