Default Main Fuse Keeps Blowing???

Whats up guys...

The 15A fuse that controls my horn keeps blowing and I do not know why. I replaced it three times and keeps blowing almost immediately. I am sure there is a short somewhere, but I just wanted to know if someone had encountered a problem like this.

Incidentally, the cruise control does not work while this fuse is blown-are they on the same line?

I also have a blown bulb on the side of the passenger-side headlight. I wonder if its this causing the short.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Sometimes it helps to mention in a fuse blowing post as to whether the car is completely stock or if you have done any modifications. Stereo? anything?
If it is completely stock then a short may be very difficult to find and probabaly is best handeled by a dealer. Sometimes a short will cause a blown fuse in a totally unrelated area.

Well the easy way to tell is to disconnect the wiring any aftermarket eletronics and see what happens. If you can anyway.
Also inspect the wiring as you take it off. In my short i had pulled apart two wires and did not notice that it had pulled away some of the insulation from one.
