Default Problem with Horn Circuit

I have a 2000. I let it sit for 5 days and it was cold. I had to reset the automatic door locks (this is another problem) as I held the 2 buttons down on the key remote the horn started blarring. It stayed on for about 5 minutes then after I repeatedly was pressing the horn on the steering column it stopped. Now the horn doesnt work. The fuse was blown and when I replace it, the fuse blows immediately. Any ideas?

I replaced the micro relay and the fuse. Now I hear the clicking when I press the horn but the fuse blows. Any Ideas?

Dead short. Check dark green wire going to horns from relay and check horns themselves too. One may have internal short.
