My list of problems with my 1980

So I recently took my 1980 on her first trip. I was blown away by how nicely the car drives. The acceleration is unbelievable and it is a lot of fun to drive. I owe you all here on the Forum many thanks because you guys have helped me on so many things, and I just want to thank you all again for your help. There were some things I noticed that werent working so I will just list them for you, hoping this is my last list of problems

1. Car seems to start better when the engine is cold and I have to crank it about 3 or 4 times when the engine is warmed up.

2.The horn does not work and I would really like to know where it is located!


3. The fresh air fan does not turn on so I can not move heat throughout the car or defrost. I thought it might be the relay as I can not here anything click when I turn the fan dial. Is there any way to test the fan or test the continuity. How do I get to it also.


4. The speedometer stops working at about 25 mph, I cleaned up the 4 wire plug in the rear by the battery but it did not help. What else could it be and how do I fix it or check? It feels like it shifts whenever the speedometer shuts off


5. Cruise control does not work. I could not get the cruise control to turn on, im not sure if there is a relay for it or not. I did replace the cluster switch at the dash recently though. I know there is a computer but would it go bad after just sitting around? Would the cruise control have something to do with the speedometer shutting off??


6. Car has a rough idle when youre at a red light. Seems to surge a little bit. Idles at about 500-600 when its in gear. 850-900 in park.


7. When I turn on the main headlight switch it turns on the headlights the running lights and the right inner front light, fog light I believe, than when I push the middle light button for the fog lights it turns on the left fog light. Kinda seems like something is wired wrong to me. Also when I hit the horn the left fog light turns on



Thanks for any and all help.
