that fuse holder doesnt have anything to do with the horn. it does soemthing but i forget what it does. mine has had that fuse missing for years. and all of my stuff works. the horn problem is possibly because the horn copper button is damaged or missing. from under the horn ring. the wiper blade is either 18 or 19 inches. i think its 18. you can put a fuse in that and see if it does anything.

If the fuse is on a yellow wire it is for the ALT gauge wiring, it will be a 4amp fuse for it. :2cents:

I think the wiper refill is 15''. Not the narrow, but regular? I don't know what they call it. I haven't found 15'' refills, so I use the 16''. Seems to work OK for me.
