I'll dig up a relay and parts and send you a picture in a day or two...

If you want to try it this way in the mean time...

Positive from your battery to relay 6
Negative from your battery to relay 5

Jumper relay 4 to relay 1
Jumper relay 3 to relay 2

Actuator wires to relay 1 and 2

Without connecting your clock, that should drive your actuator 1 direction.

If that works, we'll go next step.

yes, this worked for the one way.

That tells me you are hooking up your clock wrong. As a test, apply 12 v from your battery to the coils on the relay, 7 and 8. It should go back the other way.

Yep

 

[Ladobaze]

Yep

ok. yes it moved back

 

[ZedikerStation]

Take those off. That tells me your clock is bad or hooked up wrong.

On the clock, there are 4 terminals. 2 should have a switch icon. 2 go to the 12v battery to power the clock.

Connect the 2 that have the switch icon to 7 and 8.

The other 2 go to the 12v battery. Your clock should now control the actuator.
