Check continuity to ground on these wires when you push the buttons.  They 
may be ground triggers, in which case they're the ones you really want to 
use here.

Based on your description, it is connected in a workable manner, but only 
if the keyless module can handle the load of the solenoids, which I really 
doubt it can.  These kinds of outputs are usually rated at something like 
200 mA, and the solenoids draw several amps each.

If you have only positive triggers available, you really have only two 
choices here... Either replace the system with one with negative triggers, 
or wire in some relays to convert the positive triggers to negative ones. 
Personally, I'd do the former, because we're not talking about a lot of 
money here, and it'd create a tidier system about which you know more.

But go check those green/orange and blue/orange wires.  If you find they 
short to ground when you hit the buttons, then you can just use those to 
tigger the lock module on the brown wires.
