A 1992 Heritage doesn't have fuses, they have circuit breakers from the factory. A circuit breaker is looks like a small metal container that is about about a half inch tall and wide and about an inch long. It works like a fuse in that execessive current will trip the circuit breaker just like the ones in your house but as soon as the bi-metal strip inside of it cools, it will reset itself until the next time the current level is exceeded. The current level is determined by the currrent handling capability of the wire in the circuit it is controlling.

Now, the Heritage was notorious of blowing the filaments in the rear tail light bulb. Have you tried a new bulb in it. If that's not what it is, you'll need a test light or a DVOM (digital volt ohm meter) and a schematic to trace out the problem.

The horn is probably not on the same circuit as the tail light. Use the test light or DVOM to check for voltage at the plug on the horn. It's probably got a bad ground or just the horn itself is bad.

Good Luck

Disconnect wiring. Remove ICM rrom the front of the fender , remove the 4 bolts holding the fender supports and remove the fender, with supports, from the frame

Dead battery, main circuit breaker is automatic resetting so it probably isn't that. Check battery connections for corrosion.

The speed sensor is a "Hall Effect" sensor. It can be tested for continuity with an ohm meter but the results are not always reliable. the only way I know to test the sensor in a bike is to remove it and see if it responds to the proximity of a metal object with an increase in voltage. This may not be a reliable test either unless you know the voltage at which it activates the speedometer sensor circuitry. Just replace it.

If the motor runs long enough to get hot,, check for bad coil.

The oil tank drain is located on the bottom of the right rear of the frame tube where the tube connects to the cast swingarm bracket.

The passenger floorboards install the same way as the existing rear pegs.

Take it back to the harley mechanic. Check for dirty air filter, I'm assuming you have aftermarket pipes? The pipe manufacturer should be able to tell you the correct jet and other possible considerations.

Have forks seal replaced by an experienced mechanic.
