External mirrors and front windows work intermittently. Sometimes, disconnecting the battery and removing fuses before reconnecting battery and returning fuses works but tend to last only a few days.

Any ideas how to fix this?

The horn has recently stopped working and, if the car is unused for a few days, the battery needs recharging before engine will start.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Looks like you have a multitude of faults with this car.I doubt if it is a short,as this would cause a fuse to blow or the wiring to catch fire,which it appears you do not have.A faulty door module could be the cause of the window/mirror issue and/or battery flat.The horn would be a seperate problem.
