Clio 197 - Horn blows the fuse

Hi all,

I've checked other threads on here but can't find the same issue I'm having - pressing the horn immediately blows the fuse.

For starters, I have an aftermarket steering wheel (and boss, both Momo so not cheap or anything).

I get 12v across the horn connector (at the steering wheel), so I know there is no issue with the clock mechanism or the pins connecting it and the stalk (a common issue if they're bent is that there is no voltage).

When I use the horn, I hear a very brief crackle and the fuse is then obviously gone too (doing it's job!).

Any thoughts as to what is causing this? I don't believe the horn goes through a relay, so could it potentially be the horn itself is shot and is completely shorting everything?

Cheers for any help!
