Default linking clifford alarm to central locking, ERST S2

ok, following on from sorting my S2 ERST central locking wiring, which i have since sourced a sub-loom so now have wiring to the central locking motors in the doors.

i have a clifford concept 100 alarm system fitted to the loom, but it has never been linked to the central locking as iv never had it before obviously. my doors are now delocked, so i have no choice but to use the remote central lockin function of my alarm system.

now iv unwrapped the alarm wiring near the main control unit, and found the wires the installation manual tells me are

door lock output (+) or (-)

and

door unlock output (+) or (-)

now do i got about linking these to my central locking motors to make them lock/unlock. im assuming they go to the drivers door as it would be the master side of things, but to which wires i link these to, i have no idea

also, i need to wire up a solenoid to pop my tailgate, as that is delocked now. i have located the alarm wire 'aux channel A' which has the boot pop icon next to it, so my keen brain guesses this is correct lol. how would i go about wiring up a simple solenoid to pop the boot from the alarm fob? im guessing the solenoid itself simply needs a power and earth, and then this alarm signal feed attached somewhere also?

any help greatly appreciated

Just work the door in the lock and unlock position, there will be a change of state of one wire, ie one will become live or negative upon locking(and unlocking) very briefly(it is a pulse) so test light would be best to see if with, find this for the lock and unlock and then join the respective lock and unlock wire to the alarm wires.
Same basic procedure for the boot pop.
