I just bought a 1991 S10 Blazer and found that the horn is inoperative. From what I can tell all the wiring is in tack. and the horn is as well mounted and connected. Only thing I have found is that the fuse for the horn was missing from the fuse block, so I tried to insert a new fuse and it blew immediately. After looking through a Haynes book for this vehicle, I found it to say nothing about a horn, not even in the wiring schematics. So I went to the local Advance Auto store and had them look up a parts listing for the horn and it shows there is a Horn Relay. But, it does not show or say where it is located. I spent the better half of the day looking myself not to find any such creature under the hood or near the fuse block. Does Anyone know where this is located? Thanks

There should be a couple of relays on the drivers side fender under the hood. One of them might be your horn relay. One should be for the fuel pump. Might explain why the horn fuse was out.
The wiring diagram you want should be the body wiring.

If it keeps blowing right away, that means there is a short in your electrical wiring of the horn. If you are savvy with electrical systems, you can find it with a voltmeter, but it can be dangerous, so only fix it if you know exactly what you're doing, and be sure to disconnect the battery. I don't know what i would do without my horn, i used it a lot today, i don't know if it's asshole driving day or what, but there was this woman in a left turn lane, and i was in the lane next to it. She stopped, then somebody pulled in front of her going the other way, so she decide to split the difference, and stop with half of her car in the left turn lane, and half in my lane, not moving. WOW. So this is about 1000 feet in front of me, so i slam on the brakes, and hold my horn down for about 30 seconds untill she moved, and a little bit after. Women drivers-sorry to all of you women who are good drivers, its just the ones that make you look bad.
