maybe a bad horn, try unpluging them and see if it still blows.

They can get water in them or short internally, unplug one at a time to isolate which horm is the problem.

I thought mine was the only one that done that ! I think its happened 2 times to me but the first time i just thought it was broke and drove that way for a year and didnt even check of checking the fuse.

I my 02 started doing this about last summer. The fuse would last about a week. I finally yust out in the next higher fuse and it stopped blowing.

Hmmmm - I wouldn't have recommended that sort of "fix," but what the hey, it worked for you.

Mine started blowing right about the time it started sounding anemic as all hell - so, the question is...........what does "anemic as hell" mean?!?!?! Does that mean replace it with another OEM product or go to something else.....

Any one "gone to something else"? Regards, Jim R.

My '03 does it and my '00 did it as well.
I Put in the next largest fuse as stated above and have had no more problems.

Thanks Everyone -

I never thought I would get this many responses. Looks like I have a couple of choices - I can either figure out which horn (or maybe both) is causing the short and replace it or jump to the next size fuse and try that.

Thanks again everyone. Have a great New Year.

Air Horns.
I've thought of doing that so the question is: Who's added air horns and what OEM did you go to for a product?
