It seems the extra wires are so that one lock can trigger other locks. With this type, if you unlock one door from the outside using a key, all the other locks also unlock. I wonder if this sort of thing also introduces a delay. This may be a good thing if you want to trigger a series of actuators, such as in a kabuki drop. This may prevent the large current drop as you power up a bunch of motors at once. Though, in my recollection, opening a car door with a key seems to open the locks all at the same time. But, perhaps they are just fast enough that I don't notice that they are not simultaneous.<br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp1361e60dsignature"><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">-Joe<br></div></div></div></div>

Those were on the first few I happened to find on E-bay. But, after looking again and sorting by price, I see that about half are 5-wire and the other half with 2 wires, or 2 connection spades. So, for the 2-wire, you just apply 12v to extend, and then reverse polarity to retract.</div><div dir="ltr"><br clear="none"></div><div dir="ltr">By the way, the search terms I used were "Car Lock Actuator"<br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"></div><div class="ydp6c6b4737yiv6636414497ydpd6109125signature"><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div dir="ltr" style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">-Joe</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
