Help diagnosing a couple electrical problems.

I have a had a couple electrical problems with my 1998 Maxima. They could possibly be related but I don't see how.

1) The horn.
When hooked up, the horn works normally, until it decides to stick that is. It will just hang like you are holding it down and no amount of beating on the steering wheel will help. The only way to stop it is to just get out and unplug the horn.

This also happens when the horn is hooked up and the 'Panic' button is pressed on the remote.

2) The alarm. It does not work whatsoever. You can get out of the car, press the lock button on the remote and the doors will lock and 'Security' light will remain on for 30 sec. After which you can reach inside and unlock any door and start the car. No lights flashing, no horn, nothing.

3) Fog lights. When I first bought the car last year about this time, they worked fine. When it started warming up they blew a fuse. I replaced it after about a week of it being blown and they worked for about three days after. I replaced the fuse again and now only the passenger side works but the fuse does not pop anymore. What gives?


I really don't know where to start other than check wiring, or what to replace. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be great. I have posted up about the alarm problem before IIRC but got nowhere. Maybe this time will be better.

Thanks,
-Tim
