The turn signal switches, horn, and brake lights are all powered by the accessory circuit, I suggest you start by replacing the fuse, then look for any obvious issues.

The wire color is orange with a white stripe.

Since everything on that circuit is affected, the problem is going to be between the fuse and the spot where the wire branches out to the different components.
