Default ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN 88 CRX

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM... I JUST BOUGHT THIS CRX, AND WHENEVER I HIT THE BRAKES, THE SEAT BELT ALARM SOUNDS AND THE SEAT BELT LIGHT AND THE DOOR LIGHT COMES ON. I NEVER FOUND OUT WHY THE OTHER GUYS WAS DOING IT. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING SPECIFICALLY. OBVIOUSLY IT COULD BE A LOOSE GROUND OR WIRES CROSSED SOMEWHERE... SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER PEOPLE THOUGH, I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHY THEIRS WAS DOING IT. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

THE HORN/STOP FUSE UNDER THE HOOD IS USUALLY THE CAUSE
OF THIS...

Thanks 88dxcrx and cr91x. I really appreciate it. I have a bunch of spare fuses, and it fixed the problem!! Would this also cause the battery to drain, or was it just an annoying problem?

not too sure on battery drainage though i guess if you don't fix it and keeps beeping or what not would probably drain it bit by bit but just the damn annoying noise

I had a problem with battery drain and one day I took the negative battery cable off and when I went to reconnect it, I heard a clicking noise. I just touched the cable to the post a number of times until I found what the problem was. In my case it was wiring to the right seatbelt in the door. After I unplugged this, my problem was gone. Not saying this is your problem but by repeatedly touching the cable to the battery you may see or hear where your problem is coming from.
