Linear actuator locking up Arduinio

jremington:
Please post a proper, hand drawn circuit diagram. Pictures of components are for kindergarten children.

Since your problem very likely has to do with failure to properly decouple the power supply or use kickback diodes and noise reduction capacitors on the relays and actuator, be sure to include in your schematic any diodes and capacitors that are present.

Example of proper I/O connections:

I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that. I'm only 14. I did my best to accurately place the connections at the appropriate locations on the pictures of the components I'm using. There are no additional capacitors or diodes, or any other components I'm using other than what's shown in the image. I'm sorry that I don''t have enough knowledge to properly ask the question.
