    We just got this truck and i can't get the air horns to work. There is a switch in the dash labeled "Horns" with air and electric as choices but only the electric horn will sound no matter what position the switch is in. Fuses all check out good. Can anyone help me out with somethings to check or tell me if i'm missing something?

    Thanks.

    I'd pull the switch out and check for continuity in the circuit - may be a faulty switch.

    If button to switch to city horn is good, and button to switch to air horn is not, then problem lies down stream from the switch?

    The city horn will work in both positions. You need to take the dash apart and find the solenoid that controls the air supply to the horns
