My horn, electric door lock, and cd player aren't working???

Title says it all. I got into my car and the CD player didn't come on. Later on I find out my electric door locks don't work. Soon after then, i find out my horn isn't working either. Any ideas?

well if its not that fuse check further down. that draws its power from a wire connected to the positive terminal on the starter selinoid. there are like 3 wires that merge into that from the wireing harness, they have a fuse on the end of them its a thiner streatch of wire a few inches long that will burn up if it draws to much power. check those to see if they have power first

If your accessory or courtesy fuse is blown you probably have a bad lighter socket. I see this problem a lot at work. Disconnect the lighter socket, replace the fuse, and see if that takes care of it.

I have a similar problem only my CD player works but the horn, door locks, cig lighter, dome light and hatch release don't work. All the fuses are fine.

Sorry about bringing this up from the dead, but The problem and grown worse. As soon as the fuse touches, it POPS. So when you say disconnect the Lighter socket, does that mean disconnect it all, or just the removable part? Because I dont have the lighter, just the socket. So Should I disconnect the socket and see if it still pops?
