ok i need some help, i bought a new horn, installed it. when i press the horn on the steering wheel nothing happens, doesnt blow a fuse but doesnt work either. also i dont have headlights anymore, i have running lights but when i turn on the headlights or highbeams nothing happens, also dont have the light for the speedo anymore. i checked all the fuses in the under hood fuse box and in the under dash fuse box and none are blown. turning signals work though. i have checked the wiring in the under hood fuse box.

from what i understand the horn is a constant 12v ? i hooked up my multimeter in 12v battery test mode and touched the two wires for the horn and the multimeter read 0. shouldnt this read 12v?

i need help with what to look for? please
