I just bought a 95 2500 v8 with a 5.9l in it. I paid 1900 for it. It has 156 thousand on it. It runs good but the horn does not work and the airbag light is on. It also has a hard time starting in the moring was wondering if anyone could help with this stuff thanks alot

 

Horn is fuse H in the PDC. (power distribution center, under the hood, on the drivers side fender.)

When you push the horn button, do you hear the relay click? (also in the PDC)

Check with your local parts store, and see if they can pull any codes for the airbag system.

For cold starts...... does it do the same thing when it sits for an extended period of time? Might wanna check fuel pressure..... see how long it takes to get to 49 pounds. (if it ever does....)

 

The clock spring might be bad, or wires running down the column could be broke. Remove the covers and inspect them. As far as the fuel pressure goes, you actually want to see how fast it goes back down to zero pressure after the motor is turned off.

 

thanks for the quick replies when i bought the truck the guy said he thought the horn was the clock spring is that hard to fix. If that is the problem the airbag light i have a mechanic try to get a code thanks.

 

Clockspring being bad would explain the airbag lite too.....

 

Get a Haynes manual and check it out. It's not hard to do, but you don't want the airbag exploding in your face. And I would rather not be responsible for that.

 

thanks you alot
