horn wont work

I have an 88 gt and the horn won't work. I thought it might be the fuse but everytime I put a fuse in , it blows the fuse every time. Idk

You have a short somewhere in the horn system if you are blowing fuses.

here is the horn wiring



work from the fuse out or the horns in then from the steeringwheel control back to the fuse if needed. ( you can ignore the light wiring hron is on teh bottom)

Find the horn relay first. Pull the relay and put a good fuse in it. If it doesn't blow the fuse, it's going to be between the relay and the horns. Also swap relays with one just like it if you can. If the relay is stuck it will blow the fuse as soon as you put a new fuse in it. But it still may be a shorted horn also. Do this and report back.
