hi i recently purchased 2 door actuator, i only have a question which may be obvious to people, anyway to make the actuator go in and out, u must reverse the polarity on both sides, ex one side is pos and the other is neg, to make it operate the other way it must then be connected neg, pos, is there like some simple way to wire this up or am i looking at 2 relays or do they make a reverse polarity switch which is nice, wire colors are green and blue by the way

i found the scematic, by chance is there a switch that does the work of the 2 relays for you?

Try a standard (early 80's GM for example) power window switch. 1 + input, 1 or 2 - input(s), and 2 outputs.

this diagram only applies if the "trigger" wires from the alarm provide a pulsed ground (-) to lock/unlock. If they provide a pulsed positive (+) instead, you will have to ground the opposite 85/86 terminal to allow the relay to work. Actually, my alarm allowed me to use either pulsed (-) or (+), I just chose to use the (-).
