    Warning horn not getting ground

    make sure you are grounding the correct wire. If I recall, there are 2 connectors between the temp switch and the main harness. make sure you have continuity.

    recmnds for 2.5" fuel filler hose under my console

    Not all A2 hose is the same. Seriously, get the corrugated stuff, or change your fuel fill to one with an elbow
