Troubleshooting

2. Using an ohmmeter, check the ground wire (black) from the harness in the engine compartment to the battery negative post for continuity to the instruments and lights of the vehicle. If continuity is lacking, repair the break or replace the wire
3. A heavy gauge ground strap connecting the engine to the body of the vehicle assures proper grounding. The ground strap is built into the original negative battery cable

North America Notes
Canada generally adopts the same standards as USA.
USA "Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 [1968] allows rear turn signals to be either red or amber in color... amber signals show a 5.3% effectivenss in reducing involvement in two-vehicle crashes where a lead vehicle is rear-struck in the act of turn left, turning right, merging into traffic, changing lanes, or entering/leaving a parking space. The advantage of amber rear turn signals is shown to be statistically significant." -- NTSHA document.
Nevertheless, amber was slow in coming. Even in the 1990s red rear turns signals are commonplace. The Nissan Altima even changed three times, from Amber to Red to Amber and back to red.
"In Europe and many other countries, rear turn signals are required to be amber. Currently [2009], manufacturers ... [for] North American markets choose whether to produce [amber or red rear turn signals]." -- NTSHA document.
