Horn fuse keeps blowing

[mike969mb]

I rarely even you my horn but i noticed on a road trip not too long ago my hour wasn't working so i replaced the fuse, since than the fuse has blown two more times, what could be the reason for the fuse to keep blowing on me?

Thanks,
mike

Normally there are only two reasons that a fuse blows, either a short or an overload of the circuit. There's a known problem with the horn in the Galants, and I believe there's a Service Bulletin about it. I had my drivers side airbag module replaced because the horn switch (inside the airbag module) would interrmittently sound by itself. You may have a similar problem with the horn button being shorted. You may also want to check the horn itself. It's the one at the lowest part of the drivers side frame under the hood. The upper horn is just for your alarm. The regular horn is located below that. The wires might be shorting out there.

you cig lighter is shorting out, check for stuff stuck in it, or stop using your cell phone in the jack.

Never once touched my cigarrette lighter yet, and now the horn sounds dead. thanks for the help.

There is a recall that can affect the horn. pm me with your vin and Ill run it for recalls.

What is the recall for, I don't have the vin with me its in the car. I can tell you its an I4 2002 ES, ill try to get the vin soon.

Thanks,

There is a recall for the floor wiring harness and 1 for the battery cable insulator. either might trigger this problem. may be your horn has an internal short or the horn pad on your airbag may be stuck.
