Which wires give constant, ignition and ground on a 2018 Dodge Durango Pursuit?
On a 2018 Dodge Durango Pursuit, take constant power from the Red wire at the BCM above the passenger kick panel, black 4-pin plug (B), pin 3, ignition from the Pink/White wire at the BCM, black 48-pin plug (E), pin 27, and ground to clean, bare body metal. Meter every wire first.

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 2018 Dodge Durango Pursuit, the first pursuit-rated year, the police version of the Durango SUV.
The 2018 Durango Pursuit was a late, limited release with the 5.7 V8 only. There is no 2018 upfit guide, so we carry Dodge's 2019 to 2020 guide back, and the body wire colors come from a 2014 to 2016 civilian Durango list. Our own team has not yet metered these on a 2018 truck, and each row says so.

Where do I get constant, ignition and ground on a 2018 Dodge Durango Pursuit?
