Electrical issue

Hi all. Looking for some help with an electrical issue. Currently my horn works without the fuse being present (fuse 13) and when the fuse is replaced the ignition comes on (dash lights come on and what sounds like fuel pump) without the key! I’ve replaced the fuse box already but the problem persists. FYI CE2 electrics if that matters. Any help/advice would be appreciated.

That's an odd one and hard to diagnose without following the wires. I'd say either a short/broken wire along the way or a previous owner bodge to bypass something.

As it's the horn, do you have the standard or aftermarket steering wheel?
Does (or has the car had) an alarm fitted in the past? potentially one that uses the cars own horn as the siren.
