Good Luck. Sounds like maybe you lost a ground somewhere, hope you can find it. Odd though - Horn, Dome light, and radio don't seem like they would be wired together - did you recently change anything?
Your lighter fuse is probably blown. It's all on the same circuit.

Sorry to bring you bad news but I have fixed this same problem a few times on my friends cars. If it has a clock it is shorted out which I find causes the printed circuit on the back of the dash to burn into. The way I fix it is to disconnect the clock and repair the printed by glueing a strip of copper where it is burned into. This might not be your problem but I have fixed 3 in the same year range as yours. The hardest part is removing the dash. Hope ths helps.
