i have a Barracuda EX 88HN alarm system and my problem is that im tryin to put accuators on my geo tracker, i hooked up the accuators to the relay pack that i made like in pic http://www.the12volt.com/images/actuatorrevpol.gif but the im having a problem knowing how to hook up the alarm outputs to. the alarm has 6 connections for locks that read like this:
-------brown/black (unlock switch) 87a
-------blue/black (unlock motor) 30
-------red/black (unlock input) 87
-------white/black (lock switch) 87a
-------green/black (lock motor) 30
-------purple/black (lock input) 87
first i connected the 86 85 terminals from the relays to the blue/black and to the green/black and got nothing then tried the others and still nothing then i thought maybe it comes with built-in relays for the lock so i connected the accuators without the relay pack and still nothing, now what im thinking is those the outputs from the alarm brain have to be connected to the relays like for example if i connected all the unlock wires to one and the lock to the other and then powered the inside 85 and 86 ternimals and the outside 85 and 86 i ran to the accuators will that work??? i really need some help with this!!
thanks
