First you need to check whether you can legally remove the airbag where you are - in many parts of the world this isn't allowed. It will need the software of the operating system rewriting in order to delete an airbag - otherwise to stop the airbag light coming on you need to fool the system into believing the airbag is there and ok and that will mean connecting something in place of the airbag that is electrically identical to the airbag. What that something is I don't know and you could easily fire the airbag attempting to find out...

In the first part of your post, are you saying, you have to jump starter relay in order to get it to start? I looked at info for 96 c1500, 5.0L engine. If I understand you correctly, check the control side of relay, left side in the diagram. It needs voltage and ground both. Ground is a chassis ground, voltage comes from crank position of ignition switch and is wired through the clutch or neutral switch, depending on the tranny.

change the settings of wiring and get button and connect horn wire to it

Shop manual will give step by step, with photos and proper torque specs. These are cheap--why do people resist buying one?

check 12V at pump terminal when on/cranking hear/feel pump operation (if external to tank) if low pressure (carby) disconnect fuel line and observe flow. If high pressure (FI) connect fuel pressure guage and observe pressure. Check fuel filter while doing all this. Filters are the source of many problems that start people messing with fuel pumps.

YOu should be able to time it somewhat without unplugging anything and if you get it close the computer will see that it stays when it is running.

The left brake lite out means your turn signal is out on that bulb. replace that bulb and both should work properly!

Check cap, rotor and wires. Also possible is a cracked distributor housing.

Use a multimeter at the plug to pump! If there is no power, check the fuses under the dash, as well as the fuse box under the hood! The lid under the hood will tell you which fuse operates the fuel system. Could just be a bad fuse, or a broken wire!

is it just the inside lights on the dash not working. it may just be the bulb/s they can both go at the same time. also the second relay is on top of the steering column a bit of a pain to get to. think you can get to it with the dash out..

you either have created a leak or an injector is stuck wide open and leaking down. Hook up a fuel pressure gauge and power up the injectors one at a time and see which one is doing the fuel pressure drop.

lets me all shook up !!! ,, give me more details ,,, dieing to know what happens in third,,, is it general loss of power or a shudder like a missfire ,,,, i will help best i can but need more

When the key switch is off and the engine is not running, do you have power to the coil ? Could be a problem with the key switch.
