Default Brake lights out, car stuck in park, horn out


Hey guys, so i drive a 01 civix ex... my amp/subwoofers caught on fire in my trunk and it managed to get some of the brake wire burnt, as a result my Horn is off, brake lights don't turn on and my shifter is stuck on park, I was able to put it in drive by using the shift lock and sticking something inside..also my trunk light has been on ever since as well...so I initially replaced the fuse for the horn and brake light and while the horn was working again, as soon as I hit the brake, you can hear the fuse blow out and the horn no longer worked..so what are my options for this type of situation? Appreciate the help

I'm going to tell you something you already know. You got some rewiring to do. The fire melted the coating off the wires and when you hit the brakes, the brake light wire is shorting out and blowing the fuse.
