Problem with door latch solenoid

I'm installing an electric-life shaved door handle kit and I checked the wiring 10x's and its just like the instructions state. The problem is when I hit the remote, the relays click but the solenoids (which are mounted to the door) don't activate. Could it be that the doors are off the car and that is affecting the ground???? thanks

Sounds like a good theory. Take a jumper cable and attach to the door metal somewhere and also attach to your battery neg post on the car to test it.
