Why I locate the fuse for horn on a 1996 Chevy Corsica?

The fuse for the horn in a 1996 Chevy Corsica isn't in a single, universally-located place. Its location depends on the specific trim level and any aftermarket modifications. However, it's almost certainly located in either the underhood fuse box or the interior fuse panel (usually located under the dashboard, often near the steering column).

To find it, you should:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source. It will have a diagram showing the fuse box layouts and identifying which fuse is for the horn.

2. Check the underhood fuse box: This box is usually located near the battery. Look for a diagram on the inside of the fuse box cover. The diagram will show the fuse's amperage rating (usually 10-20 amps) and may list it as "horn," "horn relay," or something similar.

3. Check the interior fuse panel: If you can't find it under the hood, check the interior fuse panel. Again, look for a diagram on the inside of the cover.

4. Use a multimeter (optional): If you're comfortable with basic electrical work, you can use a multimeter to test the fuses. This is helpful if the diagram isn't clear. With the horn pressed, you can test the continuity through the fuse to determine if it's blown. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before doing this.

Important Note: If the fuse keeps blowing, there's a short circuit somewhere in the horn wiring. Replacing the fuse without addressing the short will only lead to a repeat problem. You should have a qualified mechanic diagnose and repair the short circuit.
