Default Brake light problem, please helppp

alright ive got a 95 civic cx. few days ago i noticed that my brake lights werent working. found out that it was a burned fuse, i got another one. and it started working just fine. yesterday, as i was watching the reflection of my brake lights, i pressed on my horn (which doesnt work), as i was pressing it, i noticed my brakes lights were getting dimmer and dimmer and eventually burned out. so basicly. everytime i press on my horn, the fuse for my brake lights burns out. i know the horn and the brake fuse uses the same fuse, but how do i fix that? do i get a new horn or what? please help asap.

It could just be too low of an amp fuse for the horn, I mean most people use their horn about once a year around here it could be designed for us. You could always wire the hort to a differnt fuse also.

id recheck your wires from your cd player because some cars are touchy when it comes to electronics...ie if a wires touching ground, it could cause something else not to function properly...i can't think of anything else...
