its nothing major but i think there may be a short somewhere...

well yesterday i noticed that my cigarette lighter wasnt working and then later noticed my horn didnt either, they both operate from the same fuse so i figured thats all it was

well i looked at the fuse and sure enough it was blown, so i replaced it and plugged in my cell phone cord into the cigarette lighter, it worked for a few seconds as i pulled away from the place i bought the fuse and when i got on the road i tried my horn and it didnt work! i then looked down and the phone cord power indicator was no longer on, the damn fuse blew again

yes i replaced it with the correct fuse (20A), and both the horn and the cigarette lighter have always worked fine before

for some reason my horn button feels different, i may be mistaken though, can it go bad and cause this to happen?

anyone else have this happen?

thanks
