Which wires give constant, ignition and ground on a 2016 Nissan NV200?

On a 2016 Nissan NV200, take constant power from the Blue wire at the ignition switch, white 6-pin plug, pin 3, ignition from the Red wire at the ignition switch, white 6-pin plug, pin 1, and ground to clean, bare body metal. Meter every wire first.

Written by API Signal, fleet GPS and camera installers for 35+ years across Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, installing every major telematics and camera brand. Every wire on this page lists its source.

Test every wire with a meter before you tap it

No wiring information is ever guaranteed. Colors and locations change with trim, options and build date, and the manufacturer can change them in the middle of a model year. We share this as a starting point for installers, and you are responsible for confirming every connection on the truck in front of you.

This page covers the 2016 Nissan NV200 compact cargo van.

This van has a standard key. Most body wires on this page come from Nissan and GM documents that agree with each other. The Chevrolet City Express of this year is the same van with the same BCM pins and wire colors. Our own team has not yet metered these on a 2016 van.
