Found <a href="http://blog.netscraps.com/diy/heavy-duty-solar-powered-automatic-chicken-coop-door.html#comment-36576">this project</a> and got it all wired, still having issues. Basically the first timer powers the actuator on and the other timer is supposed to reverse the polarity when it comes on. When the reverse timer comes on it only stops the actuator from opening, it does not actually close the arm. Double checked all wiring and it seems good. Diagram I used is on the blog link above and attached is the setup I am trying to get to work. Thanks in advance for any help!

I know the wiring is rough, I will finalize it once I know the system works. Timer on the left is the power on, timer on the right is for reversing the polarity.

You have the out of your timer wired to the wrong side relays don't work by flipping poles they work by on or of with a spring return so you needs a second realy to kill the first one
