'98 Honda Accord blowing fuses
 

I have a '98 Honda Accord EX, 4cylender-VTEC engine. I am having a
problem with the fuse that is tied to my brake lights, and allows me to
take the car out of park. The fuse is burning out every time that I
use the horn. I have been on line and I have seen the same problem
posted several time, but no answer on how to fix it. Does any one know
what this problem is, and how to fix it? Thank you for your help.

When did this start, and have you been in any accidents or replaced any
taillight bulbs recently? Do you carry nasty things (like scrap steel
bits)in your trunk?

Re: '98 Honda Accord blowing fuses
 

If the fuse blows everytime you use the horn then the problem lies in
the horn circuit.
Does the horn sound or does the fuse blow right away?
I would start by disconnecting each horn ( two located between the
bumper and rad/condenser) one at a time and see if the fuse still blows.

The problem lies between the driver's seat and the steering wheel.
I think I used my horn a couple of times in 11 years of driving
when I accidentally hit my butt on the steering wheel picking stuff
from the rear
seats. In the normal urban driving the horn is just about as useful as
a pogo whip.
I imagine that in a situation when the horn is actually useful Accord
won't be.
