I recently bought a 1989 Acura Integra LS-SE and when I was taking apart the door panels, I noticed that actuators had been installed (the car does not have power locks). The thing is that they have 5 wires coming out of them instead of two like i've read about on most websites. I traced the wires and  they stop under the dash and it looks like the control module was removed and he just left the actuators there. The colours are blue, green, brown, white, and red. Does anyone know what the extra wires are for, and could anyone tell me how i would hook it up to a keyless entry unit?

Any help would be appreciated!

You only need to use the green and blue wires. These are the actuator wires, the other 3 are actually switch wires. You ever seen a car where you unlock the drivers door with the key and all the the other doors unlock also? Thats cuz of 5wire actuators. The other 3 wires are actually a switch built into the actuator, that triggers the relays to power the rest of the actuators when this actuator is moved up or down.
