I just recieved a 2012 RAM SSV to upfit as a joint demo vehicle and spent a good two hours examining the whole truck. I thought I would pass on what I found.


The upfit guide is here:

Not nearly as many features as the Pursuit. I wish they had incorporated the headlight flasher and the passthru wires as well.


The underhood PDC as listed in the guide:

The driver side spotlight wires, as seen laying under the dash and looking up towards the driver's A-Pillar:

In the upfitter guide the spotlight wires are incorrectly labeled as both being Red/White. Correct colors are Red/White and Bk/Brown


The upfitter guide states the PDC control wires are in the center console, which to me would mean the floor in between the front seats where a center console would normally be. They aren't there though, they are in the center dash behind the AC cluster. Here are the steps to access them:

On the top section of the dash where the little tray with the word Dodge, there is a small rubber mat. Lift this mat and there are two T20 screws to be removed:View attachment 38905

Next remove the small trim plate around the 115v outlet and remove the 3rd and final T20 screw:

Gently pry the panel off, disconnect the harnesses from the rear of the AC cluster and various switches/outlets and the upfitter wires are taped to the harness:
