A dash cam should be connected to either the cigarette lighter socket or the ACC power source in the fuse box. Here is more information about dash cam power sources: 1. Dash cams generally have built-in power sources and external power interfaces. The built-in power source is usually a lithium battery, while the external power source is typically supplied through the cigarette lighter. The capacity of the built-in battery is usually very small, providing power for about an hour, whereas the external power supply is more convenient and can last for a longer duration. 2. The built-in lithium battery must be avoided from strong light exposure. Installing the dash cam on the rearview mirror can help avoid strong light exposure. 3. ACC power supply is more complicated, with a more complex installation process that may affect the car's aesthetics, but this method provides power for a longer time.

What is the reason for the Chevrolet Cruze's driver-side door lock automatically bouncing back?

Here are the reasons why the Chevrolet Cruze's driver-side door lock automatically bounces back: Insufficient lubrication: The door lock mechanism lacks proper lubrication, so lubricating oil needs to be added to each door lock mechanism. Motor issue: The central control motor lacks sufficient power, and it's necessary to check which motor is faulty and replace it. Push rod length problem: If an aftermarket remote lock was installed, it could also be due to improper adjustment of the central control motor push rod length. Door not properly closed: If the door is not properly closed, it will automatically bounce back. Another possibility is that there was a collision, which may have affected the door sensor, causing the computer to think the door is not properly closed.
