I had the same issue, locks wouldn't work with the switches, but I knew they worked because they locked and unlocked when I put the car in keyless programming mode. When we did the alarm I just ran new wires to the actuators in the doors and hooked them to some relays, then had the switches just throw grounds to the relays like the lock and unlock outputs on the alarm do. Works great, but if you have factory keyless it will no longer function.
