need help - remote door locks don't work with added switch
Hi, fellas.
I'm in a process of installing a remote door locks.
What I want is to have the locks open and close remotely and via a switch on the center console.
The actuators are stock, used, the RC is aftermarket. The locks don't have the micro switches.
I made the mock ups:
1 - RC with battery, remote and actuator - all works as intended.
2 - battery, actuator and 6-pin DPDT momentary on switch with reversing polarity - all works.
3 - when I hook up the switch, the switch doesn't work - rather it passes about 0.3V and the actuator doesn't move. Remote works.
What's wrong? Why? and how can I make the switch operable?
Below is a crude electrical diagram:
