Several months ago I posted that I kept blowing the tail light fuse on my 49 even though I've installed a new harness. I even covered the wires with that color keyed plastic ribbed tubing. Some of you said to check for chaffing wires. Sure enough, the wires to the right rear were worn through between the bed sidewall and frame. It cut right thru the protective tubing. My truck is dark green so I got away with this solution. I took about an 8" piece of garden hose and made a new protective cover for the wires for both lights. It's positioned in such a way that it's not noticeable. Thanks for all your advice, I hopes this idea helps. Now I gotta tackle the stuck horn issue. Any ideas????

Check your horn button to make sure its not constantly grounded.
Buy a new relay. Could be stuck

Also check the wire from the horn button all the way to the horn or the wire from the relay if you have one to be sure it is not grounded along the way.
