To prove if it is the fuel alarm or not, find the tan wire going to the fuel sensor and disconnect it. If the horn shuts up, that's where the prob is. Then trouble shoot the prob.

I've done this with disconnecting the fuel sensor. When it is disconnected the alarm goes off. So I know it is a fuel problem but how do I know what the fuel problem is. Is if fuel pump gone bad, bad primer bulb,or could it be fuel tank going bad , etc. was wondering if anyone has had this problem before and did they go about fixing it ??

With the fuel sensor disconnected the alarm should NOT go off if it is a fuel prob.
