Default Horn/anti-theft fuse keeps blowing

The fuse behind the center dash that controls the ant-theft blows when I press the horn button. There is not a short between the horn button and the fuse. The relay checks out fine. If I don't touch the horn button the fuse holds and everthing works fine. I push the horn button, the horns sound for a moment then the fuse blows. Anybody solve this problem before? My car is an 85. I've searched the archives and know all about using a finger instead of the horn so please save that suggestion.

Sounds like one of your horns may have a short or is overloading the circuit. Try unplugging one at a time and see if the fuse holds.
