Rascal 230 won’t run. Husband was backing up, and left go of control lever to stop. Machine kept going for a few seconds and stopped abruptly, and front end lifted up and the then down to ground.Then it would not start. Battery is charged about 90%, and horn works.

SOURCE: it just starts and stops after few seconds ...

It sounds like either the compressor is bad, or the overload and relay assembly mounted to the compressor is bad. The easiest way to determine which is to put an amp meter on the power wire to the compressor assembly. It should only read a few amps while running. If it reads excessive amperage, you have a bad compressor. If you do not have an amp meter, then you could just go get a start relay and overload from a parts store and try changing those parts, as they are much cheaper and eaiser than changing the compressor....just unplug it before messinfg around inside the overload cover on the side of the compressor! Good Luck!

SOURCE: security system/battery

plz check the following and update me
1. Fuel (To be exact proper air/fuel ratio, normally it is about 14/1)
2. Spark (in appropriate moment)
3. Proper timing (the valves should open and close only in appropriate time)
4. Compression in the cylinders (Normal compression is 120 - 170 psi. The engine won't start if the compression is lower than 70 - 80 psi.)

SOURCE: horn

The Air Bag module in the steering wheel is no good. The contacts burn and stick.

SOURCE: horn on 01 silverado just stopped working

if the relay is clicking then it seems like it should blow. those trucks have a fuse box on inside of drivers door and under hood too. I would get a test light and go across both sides of the fuses and check to make sure none are blown. should be labeled horn. I think there are actually two horns one makes one note and one makes another so it is just about impossible for both to go out at the same time. try wiggling connection at horns themselves and see if it does anything. hope it helped.
