Disconnect the horns, replace the fuse, and try it again. If the fuse blows, you have a short in the wiring. If the fuse remains good, then there is a short in the horn(s) assembly.

Were just having fun. To your orgional issue,,,if you restore the fuse and use the FOB to lock the car (usually beeps the horn if you have it set up that way) or you cause the panic alarm to go off by pressing the panic button, does the horn blow without blowing the fuse??

If the fuse still blows, replace the horn/s with a new one. Common for them to short out. There right up there in the nasty weather conditions.

Yep,,back in the box. Going home soooon! Need to drive the vette BAD! MAX speed limit on Guam is 45 mph in a 1/2 mile streatch of road. The rest of the speed limits are 35 or less! Boy,,,if I had the ZO6 here,,,I be under the jail!

You ain't just whistling DIXIE! The old CORRAL base roads are slick as snake oil when they get wet. You will see car just spin out for no reason at all.

Much of the main road Guam 1 are now asphalt but the secondary roads are corral and full of pot holes!

GOD BLESS the good olé USA!
