New power locks not working

Hey guys, I just got some new central power locks from Black Widow. The relay has 5 wires and the instructions say purple to 12 volts, brown and white to ground, and the green and blue to the actuators as lock and unlock. I got it all wired up and I get nothing. No movement or sounds or anything. I read a good 12 volts at the relay and a good ground. Should I be reading voltage on the lock and unlock when I manually move the locks and if so can I unhook the relay and wire direct to troubleshoot if it's a bad relay? Any help will be appreciated.

Ok I ran direct + and - and verified that the actuators work. So, it's the relay that's not sending + and - when I lock or unlock manually. But, if there is no current traveling through the lock and unlock wires, how does the relay know to send + and - through thoses wires when the key is turned or you slide the lock? Maybe I'm not understanding central locks. Maybe when I hook it to my alarm tomorrow I'll be able to control it that way.

Apparently it was an alarm only model. Works fine. Thanks for everyone's input
