    ok, my 93 lx is being very very odd. i need to get this fixed ASAP.
    I got a spark and a tiny bit of smoke from the harness under the drivers seat. and from that moment on, the windows will work whenever they want, the steering wheel wont lock when its in park, the airbag light i had flashing isnt flashing anymore, and i can perfectly start the car without a key. the ignition turns with no key in it and even cranks up and i have no locks. im in a desperate need of help. i have no clue what it is
    . my grandpa says its the ecu and my dad says its all mechanical, no electrical problems. HELP PLZ!!!!

    I dunno about the spark and smoke bit, but it kinda sounds like your ignition cylinder is dead/needs replaced.

    I have heard that when you have all kinds of electronic gremlins, most notably the gauges not working (which you didn't mention), it means the ignition cylinder is broken.

    Sounds like yours is broken anyway, though...

    Well man, I dunno. Usually when the airbag light is flashing that means it's not working, but I don't know what the particular codes mean.
