Yep yep! Is there a coin stuck in your cig lighter. Seen it a 100 times! If not, unplug the horns and then try it. If it doesn't blow, one of the horns is shorted. If it still blows, there is a short somewhere in between.

I had same exact problem. One or both of your horns is shorted causing your fuse to blow. Replace both horns to be on the safe side because one of mine was bad and the other had a small short which was a little hard to find at first. So replace both or get one good one by NAPA or the likes and you'll be good again!
