impossible to find wire diagram, 96 quest

I looked high and low but cant find the radio wire diagram for a 1996 nissan quest that was correct.

I have never seen colors like that, and i when i found wire diagrams the wire colors were wrong.

Please help me.

What exactly are you trying to do?  If changing the radio, they do make a harness that sells for 15 dollars on the mainland.  If you have that harness, the wire colors match up with the wire colors of your aftermarket deck.

on the harness with the most wires is

yellow/red
BLACK/ white
ORANGE / blue
blue/dark green
blue/light green
WHITE/ light blue
black
red
white
green
purple
light green

then the next harness is

BROWN / white
pink/black
oreang
pink
balck
brown
sliver

then on the last one has only two wires

WHITE/ red
WHITE/ black

no i dont have a meter here with me now.
so i really need to find out.

I asked everywhere and still no one knows.

So no one here knows either?

yeah if you can tell me I would love you forever. If you need anymore info let me know and I can get it asap.

Are you sure that all 3 of those plugs were plugged into the back of the radio?  Does it have some kind of rear seat controls?  Can you take a picture of the back of the radio and post it?

Have you looked in the center console to see if you find these colored wires at the factory amp location?

	Battery		GREEN/ VIOLET		(+)		RADIO HARNESS
	Accesory		YELLOW/BLACK		(+)		RADIO HARNESS
	Ground		BLACK/ LIGHT GREEN		(-)		RADIO HARNESS
	Illumination		GREEN		(+)		RADIO HARNESS
	Power Antenna		N/A
	LF Speaker (+)		ORANGE / LIGHT GREEN
	LF Speaker (-)		LIGHT BLUE/WHITE
	RF Speaker (+)		WHITE/ LIGHT GREEN
	RF Speaker (-)		DARK GREEN/ ORANGE
	LR Speaker (+)		LIGHT BROWN / WHITE
	LR Speaker (-)		LIGHT BROWN / YELLOW
	RR Speaker (+)		LIGHT BROWN / GREEN
	RR Speaker (-)		BROWN / PINK

Yes It seems that there is a factory amp in the trunk.

Yes im sure that all of them plugged into the back. I will take a picture and post it, it might be low quality as i will have to take it with my phone.

I tried to take a pic with my phone but I couldnt email to myself for some reason. so i drew (a ugly picture) of the back of the radio.

The two circle are where the radio thing and this only thing went into.

and the others are the three harnesses.

Do the wire colors on the factory amp match the colors of the diagrams you have found?

Pay attention to only the left plug in the following diagram.  You have an amplifier in that vehicle, chances are you are going to have to bypass the amplifier if you want it to be engine noise free.

POWER 1=Permanent Live 2=Ground this pin 3=IGN live 4=Illumination 5=N/C 6=Ground 7=Electric aerial

Following is the pic you posted, has anyone ever seen an amp preamp plug with 12 wires on it.   I am sure it has to go to the rear controls.  You do know you are probably going to lose the rear controls if you do this.

Disregard the question about the 7 pins.

Yes my amp harness looks like your picture one side 1-6 and the other 1-8

1.Orange
2.Black
3. White
4. blank
5.blank
6.blank

1-8 all the speaker wires.

How do I bypass the amp? Do I tap all the power, Ignition, ground, and speaker wires from the amp harness instead of the harness that pluged into the factory radio?

if so how do I knoe which speaker wire is positive and what it negative?

I know the 1-8 goes in pairs like 1&2 is Front left, 3&4 is Front right, etc
but does it also go positive and negative, positive and negative? or negative and positive, negative and positive?

its ok if i cant controll it in the back, the back controls stopped working long ago anyways. haha

Ok ill give that a try.

Also I I want to install my sub and amp, so I hooked it up like this

I connect the sub (#1) to the Speaker output left + and - right [labled bridged](#3)  my right + and left - is empty.
I connect the RCA from the deck to #2 [line in] on my amp line out is emtpy
I connect Power, Ground, and P.con (#4) Power to battery, Ground close to amp, and P.con to the IGN wire of the deck.

How does that sound? correct?

It sounds like you are on your way, but here is some more info:

https://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/quest/1996_Quest/el.pdf

Go to page 172 and it will list all the wire functions and colors for the radio.

It will also denote postive and negative speakers connections!

You should be able to figure out the wire colors by their abbreviations, with the exception of blue - they abbreviate it "l".
