Need Help....

Ok don't know where to start.
Today i parked my car at work this morning armed it with the keychain then walked in to work.
One hour later staff tells me my horn going off.
I walk outside and find the horn blaring.
Try the keychain nothing, start the car nothing, still blaring away. drive the car up to the back door of my work go in side to find tools disconnect battery.
come back out three mins later still blaring...came outside with a 10mm shit wrong car my 4x4 is the 10mm go back inside come back out two mins later horns off.
Now the horn does not work at all ?
Any Ideas on where to start ?

was the horn constant on or just honk, honk, honk, etc.?

supposedly the horn uses the most power out of anything on the car and if you lay on it long enough it can melt..

Check your fuses, the horn isnt intended to be on for extended amounts of time. If it generates too much heat in the wiring, you may have just popped a fuse.

The horn was constant.... don't know how long it was on for but could have been up to hour when i found it.

[nicothehut]

What fuse is it linked to horn not listed on fuse box ?
and was looking under hood for the horn is hidden under something ?

At work now guess i wait till I'am home with my shop book and tools to check anything else.
other ideas still welcome
Thanks everyone ;)

I cant remember if the fuse is in the engine bay fuse box or one of the interior fuse boxes.

EDIT: also if you find that it is in fact a burnt fuse, be careful when you're replacing it because if the horn problem isnt fixed, and you put a new fuse in, you're going to scare the crap out of yourself or pop the new fuse as well. You might want to replace the fuse with the battery disconnected.

yeah definitely if it was constant the fuse probably blew

if the fuse didn't go, the horn might've melted lol

fuse!

[nicothehut]

So in the fuse box there was 4 fuse the same as the horn fuse. I pulled the AC one out and put it in the horn slot...and nothing. So the next step is to pull the head light out and find this well hinden horn. BOO.
