I have owned a 1993 Mustang LX with a 2.3L 4cyl engine in it for a few years and I love it to death. It is my first car and plan on keeping it for a long time. The car had been sitting for a few years in beed of a Tranny. I blew it out and was constantly in search for one. I would go out there and start and all of that to make sure everythingwas good.
Well I just finished up repairing it finally after a few years and come to find out my horn is not working. Each time that I would barely place a fuse to the prongs an electrical current would back feed and cause the fuse to blow. Originally it is supposed to be a 15 amp fuse, I went througn 20'a, 25's and even 30's and they kept blowing. Each time I would pull them out they would be hot......
I have checked the horn relay, replaced it, took the steering column outand apart to check for cut wiring nd all of that. Still nothing seemed to work. I even bought a brand new horn assembly. I do not know what the problem is. Could someone please help me??? I would greatly appreciate it. I am half tempted to run an auxilary button, but do not want too......

Seems people read this message and just bypass it. What is going on here? I mean some input would be nice....laughing or something to tell me what it is.....well here is a continued laugh for you.....

Well as you know my horn was not working and each time I put I fuse in to get the horn to work, it would short out and blow. I looked all around the car to see what it was, took out the steering column, checjed wires, dismantled the fuse panel and everything. I traced it down to no being the horn. Finally I get a diagram and find out that my cigarette lighter is also included there......so after all this time I look down and there are about 15 pennies in there....(counted them after I took them out. LMAO) I put a fuse it, it did not blow and now my horns work

Sorry, just got your posts and was going to say to look in the ashtry at the cig lighter. That's a very common thing to happen.

Hey thanks for the reply. I felt rather stupid because I did not know what else went to the fuse and I tore everything apart trying to figure out what it was. Stupid things. Thank you very much though, it is greatly appreciated
