93 buick century -turn signals
The Buick Century uses separate relays for the hazard warning and turn signal functions. The turn signal relay is located on the accelerator pedal bracket, and the 4-way flasher relay is located on the convenience center near the left kick panel. Try switching these two relays with one another to see if your turn signals work instead of your 4-ways.

Brake line diagram
I have been in the business for 35 years and have never seen a "brake line diagram". You easiest way to figure out which one goes to the right front would be to start at the right front caliper and follow it to the hydraulic control module.

2004 Buick Century, horn quit working, replaced
Start by having someone press the horn while you feel the relay with your finger. If the relay clicks when the horn is pressed then the switch is working properly and your problem is between the relay and horn assembly.
