Horn wont stop horning ( I pulled the fuse)
No p.window
No radio
There is a draw somewhere in the car. I think its about 1.32ma
Wow, thats alot of issues. I have never seen that in a car.

The only thing i can think of for sure is on the radio. Check and see if you have constant 12 volt and ignition turn on. you gotta have both to get a radio to turn on. If you have one but not the other than there ya go. Maybe than that will lead you to something else.

As for the horn and the lights, maybe its an issue with the switch.

How did the alternator go out? Did it send a unusual high voltage output to everything? That could very well burn up relays and switchs.
