Find what fuse is, You have to follow the wires with patience, from the fuse box to the item, you have a short circuit look if the horn + wire is not touching metal outside or inside the steering column, have You replaced the steering wheel? if the same fuse covers the dome light, take it a part and see if the + wire is touching the inside of the roof, plastic melted, or look at the on and off Dome switches at both doors, look for the positive wire on radio, antenna and main light switch, yo can disconnect every item and check any time hot wiring that fuse with copper wire every time, to You are sure

No power to horn fuse

Then either the horn is toast and needs to be replaced (check by connect cable from positive side of battery to the hot side of horn and cable to other neg side of battery and it will go off if it work.) If it works then check if its just open or short causing no power to horn fuse.

Dash lights,lighter, & rear defroster wont work on my 2002 monte carlo ss

Have you checked your fuses? You could have an electrical issue also. If the fuses are good, you need to check your wiring harness for these parts.

02 SS Monte Carlo , dash lights have quit working, well all interior lights for the controls and switches. checked body control module its good , no blown fuses

this only occured when the ambient light sensor turned on the headlights when it got to dark. if that is happening then check the headlight switch, the one that also dims the interior lights. mine had a burnt connector and fried the circuit board. replaced it and it works good. check for lose wires and connectors in there as well which likely caused the short.

96 Monte Carlo Fuse

look under the hood. take the top of the fuse box and look at the sticker on the inside of the top. It should tell you unless the sticker ore off. Otherwise look in a Chilton's manual at your local library.
