Horn Fuse Blows Frequently...need help
When I got my car last June I remember using the horn for the first time, and after that when I tried to use it nothing happened. I thought maybe I was pressing in the wrong area or not hard enough (I know with the Bonne I had to hit a certain area just right sometimes). But I checked the fuse and sure enough it was blown. Since June, the fuse has blown at least 3 or 4 more times.
What could be the problem here and how can I get this fixed? It is some kind of electrical problem since this is definitely not normal. I hate not having a horn, especially with crazy drivers on the road.
Thanks guys!

since you live in NY and probably deal with road salt allot-unplug one (or both) of your horns (high tone of low tone-most GMs have two) then activate the horn button, i bet it doesnt blow the fuse- i have seen a few times that the wires are fine-no shorts (though once i found where they were pinched by someone doing auto body repair work-shorting it out)
for some reason i think that the road salt gets into the horns and can corrode the horn from the inside out-either you could leave the one horn that blows the fuse unplugged, or replace em both.
unplug eash horn and ohm them out and i bet one will have a much lower resistance
hope this gives ya something to look for---(unles theres a penney in the cigarte lighter lol)

Mine doesn't work either.
Where is the fuse for the horn?
I don't see it listed on my fuse panel cover.
Thanks

...reminds me of a video clip I once saw somewhere.
Some guy wired his friends car to blow the horn everytime he hit the brakes...you could get fancy with this and wire in a cheap timer to allow this to happen after about 5 minutes of driving. hehehe...
