Does a horn need a fuse?

What to do if your horn stops working?
That may fix it. Might want to do this with it directly wired to a battery (or battery charger). Also, a good solid battery voltage might improve the issue. If it does not work directly connected, it can never work through the normal wiring. The fact that the fuse does not work is incidental to the real issue.

The first step is to identify the source of the problem—here’s how. Car horns sit up front where they’re exposed to rain and road chemicals. Once that spray gets into the horn’s innards, it can short out the coil and kill the horn (and blow the fuse in the process).

Accidental triggering will be expensive and can be painful. You can check voltage with a multimeter (VOM) or with a simple 12VDC test light.
