Just went to the connector site looking for a pinout. There is this:

IMPORTANT NOTICE​


Connector repair kit information for 2010 to Current vehicles has been moved to the connector details pages of wiring information in Service Library.


If you do not currently have access to Service Library, a license for access can be purchased here:
StellantisIOP.com

They don't seem to want anyone doing anything themselves on newer vehicles. Hard to believe that they removed important info that has been available for years. Hopefully any dealer tech members will be able to help.

Google:
Stellantis shifted valuable connector pinout data out of public-facing aftermarket platforms (like the previous TechAuthority setup) as part of a system-wide overhaul of their diagnostic and service library portals. The shift is tied to two main factors:
1. New Portal Navigation Issues
Stellantis migrated its wiring and diagnostic library system to new platforms (such as the independent operator portal). During this transition, technicians and aftermarket repair shops reported that the new system removed direct pinout callouts, instead displaying generic, highlighted harnesses in "connector view" rather than explicit pin functions. This was widely attributed to poorly proofed software updates on the backend.
2. Physical Architecture Changes
Stellantis has quietly moved away from standard "star connectors" (which acted as common CAN bus network hubs) and transitioned toward new module network routing via centralized splice blocks. Because the vehicle's electrical infrastructure is fundamentally changing, the documentation, pinouts, and physical connector layouts are continuously updated and relocated in the service manuals.

Where to Find the Information Now
While these valuable schematics are no longer instantly visible on older aftermarket interfaces, you can still access them by taking these specific steps:

Current Portals: Access to up-to-date and complete diagnostic information requires a dedicated subscription to Stellantis Independent Operator Portal (or the equivalent corporate TechAuthority platforms).

Connector Kits: For physical connector and pigtail replacement information, you can search for exact terminal availability and terminal-level data on the Mopar Connection Repair Kit website.


I have some pinouts that I downloaded when I had a subscription to TechAuthority but not all. Mostly 2018 Ram 1500 3.6 connectors. Hope I don't get into trouble if I post them?

Funny, google just mentions a subscription, but did not include a dollar figure.

My bet is that FCA saw another revenue stream and jumped at it. They say it's because they are "upgrading" because of so many problems keeping up to date. Off shoring has it's price and that is usually quality. Then get rid of the ones that can't do the job and bring it back onshore.

Whoever made that decision is just plain stupid. With all the complex electronics on their vehicles, they took away valuable information from those of us that want to maintain our own vehicles. They discontinue parts on vehicles that are less than 10 years old and backorder parts that should be available on newer vehicles. It alienates loyal Mopar enthusiasts. I have been all Mopar since 1970. They really do not understand their market. I guess any future Mopar vehicles I may buy will be older than 2009. Or worse case, something that is not Mopar.
