This triggered the anti-theft relay which in turn connected the horn to ground via the anti-theft flasher. The service manual shows that the circuit from the battery is through the horn then the flasher, then the relay and then ground. A 20 amp fuse is between the battery and the horn.  So I am fairly comfortable that the heavy draw through the horn caused the courtesy lights to flash and the fuse to heat up and finally blow.
