speedo, temp, tach are all on the gauge cluster. perhaps check your fuses. Given the uncertain level of maintenance of prior owners, it is really difficult to pinpoint a 'silver bullet' solution.

Grab the workshop and electrical manuals from the google drive link in my signature. That is step #1 for sure.

kick ?........do you mean the "kick" panel ??.......thats the plastic down by the footwells.....there are relays ( and corrosion) behind them, also a couple of ground posts that you should check....which may be part of your electrical problem

Download the RAVE and review the ETM. Sounds like you have a single issue, fuse, power, or ground affecting your gauge cluster.
Your horn button is located on the steering wheel......by the "horn" symbol. 🤔 The actual horns are located behind the front grill.


How far along in your quest to unnecessarily remove wires from your truck are you?
