Hello, My 80 is blowing a 20 amp fuse for the horn and interior lights. It doesn't blow right away it takes sometimes a couple of hours. I thought it was the cigarette lighter but I since removed the push in part and it is still doing it. Any helpful thoughts??

Does your alarm work? That fuse also powers the alarm system horn. If the alarm horn itself is messed up, it could cause the fuse to pop.
The only other thing I can think of that would blow a fuse slowly like that is the interior light delay timer. Do the interior lights turn off by themselves as they should?
