Hello, I just bought my 94 LS last night.
Some of the things I am just noticing are:
1. Drivers window (power) has a hard time going down.
2. The "Open Door" light is ALWAYS on, UNLESS I take the face plate off of the aftermarket head unit. (once I take it off, light goes off but it beeps like a door is open)
3. Drivers Speaker doesn't work.
4. Speedometer doesn't work.
5. this isn't electrical, but when i open the trunk/hatch, it doesn't stay open
any help?

The power window problem is either the motor, [although if it goes up easily it's unlikely the motor] the switch, [either the switch itself or the auto down circuit] or most likely the window guide "runs", [probably laying at the bottom of the door]... #18 http://acuraautomotiveparts.org/acur...ystemcomp=List All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal
If the aftermarket HU is effecting the door open warning light, either it is miswired or the dash harness ground(s) are bad... http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/HA-Wiring.asp
Drivers speaker is either blown or there is a connection problem, [could also be a miswired HU].
Speedometer is either bad, there is a connection problem at the cluster plug(s), the VSS is bad, unplugged or there is a connection problem...
You need new hatch struts... http://shop.ebay.ca/i.html?_nkw=inte...2&_from=&_ipg= 94

as for the speedometer, I 'hit' the dash today (like smacked) and the speedometer started working, BUT the tach stopped. I think I fixed the speaker when I hooked my subs up. as for the Head Unit, im not sure but i was messing around with it today and i couldnt figure out how to have the door open light off.
Everytime I would like jiggle a wire, the light would go off, but it would beep like a door was open.
How would I find the dash harness ground etc?
as for the window, about half way down is when it starts to go REALLY slow, but has no problem going up.

I would pull the cluster and make sure it is properly plugged in.
Dash harness grounds can be found under dash drivers side "A" pillar, held in place with 10mm bolts.
Wiggling what wires will turn off the door ajar light?
Does the dome light stay on? 94

none of my dome lights work.
and when i was playing around with my head unit today, those wires seemed to mess with the door ajar light, even thought its a harness for the HU. Not sure, will play around with it more.
Will try pulling the cluster next
