Horn/fuse

I have a problem with my horn. Every time I hook up the wiring in my horn, it honks for a couple seconds, then blows the accesories fuse. How do I fix this.

If the horn honks without pressing the button on the steering wheel, then either the switch is shorted, the horn relay is shorted, or there is a short from the wire between the relay and the switch to ground. The fuse blowing may be a result of one of the above conditions, or it may be a defective horn or horns.
