9!! shorted out my 2000 Honda Civic!! Need Some Help!

[TheGonz]

My Car was in the garage for a week with a low charge battery. I decided to pull it out and jump it today and didn't notice the keys were in and turned forward. The car that was jumping it was running when i connected the cable to the dead battery then that's when the horn went off and didn't stop until i disconnected the cables. I sent my battery to get charge and will have it tomorrow but i'm wondering what could be wrong with my car. Can anyone give me an idea on what is causing the horn to go off? What is Shorted? Where can i find the parts that need to be replaced? What are the parts that are possibly damaged? Thanks!

when you go get you're battery, buy a manual for you're car or find the fuse box diagrams for it on google images. should not take to long. The in-car fuse box and the under-hood fuse box is where i would start checking things.

do you have a car alarm installed?

Hi, thanks for replying, No there is no alarm installed. I pulled out the battery fuse and this is how is looks im not sure if its blown. I know how the other fuses look when there blown but not this one.
