Sounds like a short to me. Or it could be a bad voltage regulator on the alternator.

My Van did this too but its a chevy and it was the main 50 amp fuse that kept shorting oout due to something in the horn wiring harness. Finally it smoked the problem spot and now I have no horn but the fuses dont pop any more.
