Automatic chicken door wiring issue, need help.

I saw a design on YT that I liked and thought this is simple enough so I set out and built something very similar to what I saw. The problem I'm having now is the wiring.
I wired everything up like the video showed but I must have done something wrong. When I plugged everything in I popped the house breaker and fried the micro switches.

Everything works fine with only one timer plugged in and when I mean everything only the micro switch that it is tied to works. I need both to work for the door to open and close and different times. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please post a reply. I could really use the help. Thanks.

I figured it out. I had the polarity for the bottom plug backwards. Once that was fixed everything works like it should, except I need new micro switches. Now no more getting up early or having to be home before dark to make sure the chickens are in the coop.
