When you push on the horn nothing happens, but the panic button on the remote makes the horn go off. It's not the horn under the hood, that is faulty, it is the switch inside the steering wheel burned up. I have asked multiple mechanics to fix this and they said it would take a whole day and the steering wheel and airbag would have to be removed. They said that they see this switch burn up all the time in gm steering wheels. It will cost a lot in labor and also parts.
Whether it's idling or driving shuts off I replaced the fuel pump and the wiring harnesses that come with the fuel pump and still no avail it's caused a lot of time off of work and a lot of headache I work for a reputable dealership I worked on vehicles for over 40 years.

We went on a fishing trip from wilson, nc to new port news. I drove all the way there with no problem. We arrived at the james river bridge and my truck cut off. It crunk up and rolled a little then died again. It took me 25 minutes to park. I had to wait until it decided to stay on. We fished then we left the next morning. My truck drove good with no problem. It normally takes us 2 hrs. To get back home. My truck stared cutting off again when we got 40 miles from home. It took 4 1/2 hrs. To get home from 40 miles away. It was so hot. My family had to wait along a hot, long, lonely highway. It started cutting off more. I had the fuel pump changed and also the filter. It hasn't cut off today but the engine light has come back on. It's been 3 days since those parts was replaced. I don't know why my service engine light is back on. It was off before it started cutting off. Now it stays on and never goes off.
Paint on the roof and hood started to fade.
Was pulling a travel trailer when the stock hitch receiver broke off causing me to lose control of my vehicle, causing a death, and multiple injuries to the whole family. Vehicle was totaled.
