Yes, weird. On a 370Z, I wouldn't be at all surprised if some of the lamps have multiple power sources. One of these days I'll take a look at the wiring diagrams and see if I can figure it out. Maybe it's just a difference between the '09s and the '11s.

BTW, I got to ruminating about your brittle contact wires and that sounds like a symptom of high heat and/or arcing. I'd double-check the socket for damage.

thanks for the heads up, i was a little worried about the socket too so i checked that before i put the stock bulbs back in and it was clean thankfully. i got around to replacing the fuse today since they let us off early from my job for a company christmas party and sure enough it was the exact fuse you described that was fried. interesting thing i found out though is after replacing that fuse my horn started working properly again, i went ahead and checked all the other fuses in the IPDM box and everything else was fine so i'm all good to go now. rep. coming your way southark
