That fuse also does the horn on mine. Short circuits usually blow fuses and as the horn is open to the elements it's a likely candidate. Find it and disconnect it, then see what happens. Sticking higher amperage fuses in when the correct ones blow is rarely a good idea.

Yeah mine did the same, knackered horn, got one of these, The Nautilus ElectroPneumatic from STEBEL S.p.a. nearly blows the bonnet off and if you need to let someone know about it they soon jump out of your way!!! cheapest i could find online was about £20, went to my local halfrauds and they had um in at about the same price, however when she rang it through it came up at £9.99, well chuffed
