"Blowing" FusesFuses and Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] from short circuits and overload conditions which can cause extreme overheating which can result in damage to the conductors, and worse the possibility of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle. When a fuse [and replacement fuses] repeatedly blow, is an indicator of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short. Do not install a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install a larger fuse would invite damage to the wiring and an electrical system fire. The proper "fix" is for a qualifiedtechnician, who knows what he/she's doing, to troubleshoot the circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with a properly sized fuse].

It it either a blown fuse, defective horn, bad ground, or defective horn switch. Check the fuse, if it is blown, replace, if it is good, run a wire to the horn directly from the battery. If the horn blows, suspect a bad horn switch.

Could somebody please tell me what is wrong with my fuse It is the horn and cig lighter fuse on an '89 mustang I try to replace it but the fuse always blows when i press the horn?
There is a dead short in the horn pad, take off horn pad and look for two wires touching or a hot wire rubbing on something that is grounded. First, disconnect horns in bumper area then press the horn button then check fuse. If the fuse is still good, hook up horns and press horn again. If it blows fuse it is the horn itself.

1998 accord Horn makes very slight noise only when activated Blows the tailight fuse also When locking car and enabling security when horn goes to sound it blows the tailight fuse?
The horn and parking lights may be on the same fuse, you need to look for a frayed wire or connector leading to your horn(s), it may be touching metal somewhere causing a short. The horn itself may also be the problem to check it disconnect the wire connector from the horn(s) and try it, if the fuse still blows keep looking for a wire touching metal.

Your horn doesn't work on a grand prix?
Check the fuse, and all connections to the horn. If you find nothing wrong, then apply 12 volts directly to the horn. If it blows the horn is good, and the horn switch may be bad. If it does not blow, visit your local salvage yard for a used horn. dont think the fuse in the fuse panel is the only one for the horn... in the relay center under the hood there is a horn fuse as well, that was where mine was blown. good luck
What could be the problem if the horn fuse on a Mercedes 190 blows every time it is replaced?
It seems that you have a short-circuit on your horn circuit. Check to see if the terminals of your horn are touching any part of the cars body. Also see if you can disconnect the horns, change the fuse again, if the fuse holds then replace the horn(s)
What would cause the horn to blow a fuse each time you use it?
Dead short in the horn or the wire. Try unhooking the horn and see if it still blows the fuse. Stop pusjing the horn so much! :-) Actually there seems to be a short or a bad horn. Check for the horn relay as well it may be stuck or bad.
