horn fuse blowing

The 20amp fuse for the horn,dome light, and cigarette lighter must have a short to ground because the fuse keeps blowing.

I disconnected the horn relay, cigarette lighter and dome light and the fuse keeps on blowing. What do I need to do next to figure out where this short is located.

I'm trying to get this car inspected and the horn is a requirement. Any help would be appreciated.

BLOWING





There might be a wire rubbing thru.

If you can’t find it quickly, and you don’t want to tear apart the car unnecessarily of course, you can install 3 separate fuses where the fused 20A line branches out to feed the lighter, horn, dome.

Use 10A fuses.

You will know which circuit is the problem from which fuse blows.



Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. Turn 'em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!
