It could be as simple as a fuse beeing burnt out for your horn. So get out the owners manual and see which fuse your horn is and check it. Also pull the fuse out to get a good view if its burnt out or not. Usualy things that small also has more than one thing on the same circut like: cig lighter, Horn, and radio will share the same 15-30 amp fuse. If that don't work you may want to check and make sure everything is hooked up like the horn. I've seen horns fall off after years of vibration.

***CAUTION***

If your car is equiped with a Air Bag it maybe better to pay a professional to fix/work around your steering wheel. This is a exploding device and could cause harm and if accidently set off could cost more than your car is worth to fix it Well maybe not that much but anywhere from 200-500.00 bux on a single unit and up to a 1000.00 on duels.

The years on the fox mustangs with AirBags are I think 91-93's. Its pretty easy to spot these since they say Airbag on the wheel and has a huge inside area of the sterring wheel. These AirBag cars also has VERY small horn botton on the side where you can't find then when seem dumb butt cuts you off

Yep, just a fuse in the stereo or stereo harness...I actually had that problem once and it was my amp's fuse.

If its a fuse you're looking at around 15 mins to fix it and that includes going to AZ to buy a new fuse

OIC I thought it was just the radio not working With this list of issues I wouldn't lie to you, it may take some time.

I would probly start by looking at the wires on and around the alterantor/starter to see if any was melted down. Then if it was me I would get a volt meter on that batter to see if that alernator/batter is fried. I would check for voltage while the car is off on the battery it sould be like 12.0v. Then start the car and see what the battery is doing then, it should be 14.5v ish while running. If not than you need a new alternator and make sure the alts wires are good before installing a new one. This is done running a ohms test on the alternator wires. For now check for any obvious stuff and the voltage check.

I would say take it to the mechanic and send the bill to the guy who put your battery in backwards.
