95 civic: horn blows a fuse
wats up honda tech. i got a 95 civic coupe and for some odd reason recently if i use my horn it blows the fuse that controls the horn and brake lights. yeah yeah i did some searching but i havent really found anything. i'm almost positive that theres an aftermarket horn siren on the car because my nieghbor has a 95 civic also and his deff sounds like a honda horn but mine doesnt. any advice is appreciated.

Re: 95 civic: horn blows a fuse
if you want to go back to oem horns, buy one from the honda dealer
your fuse blows most likely because your horn is shorted out, a horn acts as a resistance in your horn circuit, when it shorts out, the resistance lowers and amperage raises, and can blow the fuse

Re: 95 civic: horn blows a fuse
if it was grounded somewhere after the horn, it would stay on the entire time, and if the fuse was replaced on a shorted horn, it would blow instantly
if it was grounded somewhere before the horn, the fuse would constantly blow as soon as you replace it
the horn switch is supposedly a simple on/off switch, if it was bad and wouldnt complete the circuit, the fuse wouldnt blow and the horn would never work
if the horn was used before once and for a very long time at one press, it'l short out the horn and the lack of resistance will blow a fuse

Re: 95 civic: horn blows a fuse
The OP can test your idea by unplugging each of the two horns one at a time. The unplugged horn that prevents the fuse from blowing is the bad one.
