Default Horn keeps blowing fuse. Any Ideas?

Ok....I recently had to pull my steering wheel. Put everything bacc and horn worked fine.
Now recently (no changes, no wires re-done nothing) everytime I blow the horn it blow a fuse
The interior lights all shut off and radio shuts off.
Its the "Courtesy CLK" fuse that blows.....the only one that blows
So now I can't blow my horn.......just started all of a sudden

I just pulled the steering wheel AGAIN!!! only to remember that after I put the steering wheel bacc together the first time, the horn was working fine....so I don't think that cause of the problem

Sigh....my Monte is so touch-n-go :-((

The horn shares a circuit with the cigarette lighter and interior lights. The cigarette lighter is a common cause of a short and thus will also short out the other devices. So, if it is a shared circuit, by process of elimination(disconnecting each device one-by-on) the short should be located and that device replaced. Also check horn relay.....Good Luck

Yeah, I kept blowing my horn fuse on my Caddy only to find out that there was a penny stuck in my cigarette lighter.

I started doing process of elimination before I pulled the steering.

But I just decided to put my steering wheel bacc on, didn't change anything different....and as I said TOUCH-N-GO....nd what do ya know? the horn is working again
Which means.......it will probably stop working again, so I will reference this post again probably
