You will need to identify the error code for the supplemental restraint system. Without the error code number, it could be any component, sensor or wiring within the system.

Check the blower motor resistor if it will only work on "high".

As for my horn, I was planning on buying a train horn, would you have any suggestions on where I could get that installed or a good placement of the horns and aircompressor?

I can only advise on the replacement of factory/OEM parts. I would consult the aftermarket horn dealer for installation instructions.

Gotcha, I also found a gas station that uses 100% gasoline instead of the usual 90%/10% the other stations use, is the 100% going to give me better preformance for my money or should I stick with the 10% ethonal brands?

Check the power window regulator for the window issue. Ethanol blended gasoline will not affect fuel mileage a substantial amount.

Would you recommend the cheapest ethonal fuel or the slightly most expensive 100% gasoline fuel?

Check your owner's manual for recommended octane; ethanol blends are ok to use.

My fog lights were burnt out so I got them replaced, I went to AAP and got the little light bulb for the shifter selector, so those two things are fixed and marked off of my list, I found another problem, I am missing a piece from under my hood, I'll attach a picture of it so you know what I'm talking about

As far as the dents are concerned, I would contact a local reputably body shop for an estimate.

The missing piece is your other horn. It seems that the housing has been broken off.

Well crap. Could that be the reason my horn isn't working correctly? Would I be able to get that piece at any auto store or would I have to get a specific part at a Hyundai dealer?

Could I just take the other horn housing out and put in into a bag of rice or something to soak up the moisture or would that not address/ make worse of the problem? And does the other horn housing just screw back on or is there a different way to get it on, there aren't any instructions in the owners booklet for this problem.

For my bumpers chrome trim I'm just going to find a piece off of an old car at my local Pull-A-Part so do any of the Hyundai models have similar or exact parts as my 2005 Hyundai Xg350 that I can get?

And does the front bumper's chrome trim piece come off or is it attached to the bumper?
