hope you get it sorted i got p*ssed of with shouting out the window so got it sorted.

more and likely the brake light switch on the pedal it has 2 wires going to it. unplug it and join a piece of wire in between if they come on its the switch that is faulty .
do not put higher amperage fuses in thats what causes fires , if the fuse blows when the horn is pressed the horn is taking 2 much current or the wiring is touching on the body somwhere, 99% the horn change it or go up insmoke when it gets worse , unless your lucky
the fuse blows for a reason , i've seen too many cars go up in smoke or burnt from peolpe sticking in higher amperage fuses , if the fuse dont blow the wiring melts .

disconnect the horn from the circuit and see if the fuse still blows. horns going south is quite a common prob on alot of cars, they are always mounted where they get **** wet through and covered in mud.
