im replaceing my alternator tomarrow , but i think the headlights/ horn is a seprate issue .
 
Have you checked all your fuses. If those all check out, you may have shorted a wire out without crossing the fuse. Break out a multimeter and go at it.

And this is just another reason why people need to cover their positive battery terminals. You're lucky. Your car could have caught on fire instead, like many others have had happen to them.
