when you say "Green and Blue" I assume you mean those wires coming out of the keyless entry, and not the wires going to the actuator? The two wires on the actuator (should be green and blue as well)- one wire goes to one relay at terminal 30, the other goes to the other relay's terminal 30

Terminal 85 on one relay should go to green / black on keyless entry

Terminal 85 on the other relay should go to blue / black

make sure you have constant +12 (all times) going to all terminals labeled 86 and 87 (NOTE- NOT 87A) on both relays. Put a fuse inline before the relays, like a 20A to protect against dead shorts.

87A on both relays are straight to ground- same place you grounded the alarm module.

To test to see if the actuator is bad take the two wires coming out and plug one wire to +12V while you ground the other lead. It will lock and when you reverse the wires it will unlock. Use the battery under hood.

Conversely, if you have the relays connected properly - check for +12V one ONE of the two relays at terminal 30 (same spot where you connect the actuator lines to)- as you lock and unlock one relay will have 12V.

As you unlock, ONE relay will show +12V at 30, the other one will do nothing. As you unlock the OTHER relay will show +12V at 30, and the opposite relay will do nothing.

hope this helps
