740 Weird fuse/ horn/ wiper event

Perhaps 5 years ago my wipers quit until I pulled the intact fuse and replaced it with a new fuse. Two years later, same problem. This time I just removed and re-inserted the same fuse to fix the problem. Now the interesting part ( recently): on a rainy day with my wipers going I honked the horn and, at that moment, my wipers quit. I figured the fuse was blown, but it wasn't. I pulled the fuse and jammed it back in. Wipers and horn work fine. So that means that the extra current draw from the horn interacted with my poor contact fuse issue causing wipers to fail until the fuse was wiggled? I would not have expected that at all. Any comments?
