Windshield washer fluid with dish soap can remove oil film, but it is not recommended to add dish soap as it may produce foam that could obstruct the driver's vision. Drivers can purchase windshield washer fluid specifically designed to clean oil film. Relevant information about windshield washer fluid is as follows: 1. Composition: Windshield washer fluid, commonly known as car windshield cleaning fluid, is a consumable in automotive use. It mainly consists of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. 2.

Where is the dash cam connector located?

The dash cam connector is located in the fuse box, where it is wired to the fuse box via concealed wiring. This approach offers two advantages: firstly, the wiring is well-hidden for a cleaner appearance, and secondly, it does not occupy the cigarette lighter or USB port, which can then be used for charging mobile phones. The steps for wiring the dash cam are as follows: 1. To connect to the fuse box, there are specific requirements for the dash cam—only those with voltage regulators integrated into the wiring can be used; 2. The wiring method involves concealed wiring, which can be routed from the headliner along the A-pillar to the fuse box; 3. Power is drawn from the cigarette lighter fuse; 4. Remove the cigarette lighter fuse and use a test light to check the fuse socket—one contact should have power while the other does not. Wrap the non-powered end of the fuse leg and reinsert the fuse to complete the installation.
