Illustration — use it to know where to look.
Location
LHD (US trucks are LHD only): under the driver's side of the dash, just left of the steering column and immediately left of the bonnet (hood) release handle, above the driver's left knee. The black 16-pin connector is recessed into the lower edge of the dash and faces down, so it blends in; look up from the footwell with a torch and plug in upwards. Same position on every 2013-2017 DS cab style and trim, and unchanged on the later Ram 1500 Classic.
