Just a few minor Prelude problems

hey guys, im having a few minor problems with my 92, h23
1) how on earth do you take off the e-brake handle (i bought a carbon fibered one off ebay and i wanna put it on)
2) my intermittent wipers are not working, the Low and High settings are fine, so any ideas on whats going on?
3) my ABS light is on, any idea on what would set that off?
4) last but not least i would like to change my door speakers, any instructions or tips for doing this?

thanks alot guys, sorry for so many things on one thread, but it saves time

#1 i have no clue!
#2 " "
#3 check your brake pads first off, if they are fine then check on all the wheel cylinders and master cylinder.
#4 the door panels are easy to remove on a gen4 prelude... 1st remove the screw in the door pull then 1 screw behind the door handle and 1 screw at the front of the panel on the flat surface and i think 2 screws at the bottom edge. then snap off the triangle mirror nut cover, and take a flat head screwdriver and go around the panel popping out the tabs.
once all that is done lift the bottom out and up as you work the door handle out of the hole, as soon as you have it out reach behind the panel and unplug the electrical plugs.
NOTE: putting it back on is a bit tricky at the door handle part (it takes 3 hands and a leg...HAHA)

The ABS light can be set off by a number of things. The most basic causes are: e-brake is left up, bad wheel sensor, low brake fluid (I think), and even a bad alternator.

Pull the code and it will tell you the problem: Write up - Getting a 4G Preludes CEL Code

No need to check the brake pads or calipers... If anything the bolts that hold a wheel sensor could have come loose causing it to read improperly or maybe the connector could have corroded or come loose
