Nope, that's actually why I was suspecting that the fuse is shared with another circuit. I would expect that the horn circuit is hot at all times rather than only when the key is on. With the miswire I also wouldn't have expected it to blow the fuse until the horn button was pressed, unless there was something else in the circuit that was blowing the fuse.
