hi there
The horn is blowing while you turn your steering wheel ,correct?
when you took of the horn button it was still blowing?Do you have an alarm from factory on the car?
Try disconnecting the horn and see if the fuse still blows when you press the horn button. If it does not blow the horn is probably bad. Buy a new horn.
Usually this is because the battery is still too low. I would try a new battery. You may have a bad cell. Try that first. or use a jumper cable from a known good car. to make it easier you might want to unhook the horn wire while you try it all.
While I applaud your ingenuity, when something doesn't work, you do have to learn to back off and get the right parts. It is never a good Idea to Jerry Rig a Jerry Rig!
I would trace the wire from the horn and see if it was inadvertently damaged when the alternator was installed. If you have a voltmeter, you can remove the horn fuse and check to see if there is continuity between the horn (non hot side) of the fuse and the car body. This would indicate a short in the wire running from the fuse box to the horn. You can also look around the alternator mounting area to see if any wires are being pinched. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Most common problem is the ground that the horn connects to wit the bolt is rusted and causes it to pull to much amperage so clean the contact first then if it still blows the fuse then the horn relay or the horn may be going bad.over time the horn gets junk in it and causes the coil to overheat and causes it to burn out. Horns cost $15.00 for a new horn and are easy to change. I doubt the relay is bad but it is always possible.
