Default Horn question???

Last week on the Power Tour I was passing a 69 Vette and honked the horn at them! Unfortunately for me, the horn stuck and stayed on constantly. I hit the airbag a couple of times and it went off momentarily then came back on solid. I had to pull over and pull the fuse to get it to go off. Now, I am hornless because tonight I went to put the fuse back in and as soon as it touched, the horn went on. What should I do next??

its obviously the horn shorting, that's why its on constantly.
i would remove the airbag/horn assembly and check for short/exposed wiring

I know search is a friend, I went on last night after I read his post and searched and found out about the horn membranes going bad and how to fix it. It was just such a bland response, like calling a business and getting a recording directing you to a certain department! I was just expecting a human response!
