Dash<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The dash<\/strong><\/a> or dash pad serves as a housing and protection for the car controls and instruments on the dashboard, like the fuel gauge, speedometer, and tachometer, among others. As such, replacing it is a must once it’s cracked, chipped, or damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dashes are usually made up of different materials, with the common ones being aluminum, vinyl, and plastic. Of course, each one has its advantages over the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dash Bar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Dash bars<\/strong><\/a> or dash grab bars are steel bars inside vehicle cabins that help passengers hold on when off-roading. Unlike conventional passenger grab handles, dash bars are made from durable steel, which allows the passenger to hold on securely without fear of the part breaking. Dash bars can come in various lengths and can be mounted overhead or in front of a passenger. The bars can even be covered in leather to help the passenger grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dash Bolt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Dash bolts<\/a> are threaded fasteners that secure the dashboard to the central console of your vehicle. They vary in type, shape, and size between models, so bolts that fit the dash of a specific car or truck might be incompatible with a different machine. All dash bolts are strong and sturdy, usually covered in a protective coat that prevents corrosion and damage. They can withstand multiple removals and reinstallations without losing their bright colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A <\/strong>Dash Camera<\/strong><\/a>, also known as a dashboard camera or dashcam, is a camera that’s typically mounted on a dashboard. This camera is designed to record footage while the vehicle is on the road. These recordings can be used later on as evidence in case the vehicle driver gets involved in an accident. Some dash cams also come equipped with a parking feature that acts as a surveillance system for the vehicle while it’s parked, discouraging car thieves and burglars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dash covers<\/strong><\/a> are essentially the exposed part of your vehicle’s dashboard. Dash covers are typically made from materials like ABS plastic and can come in a variety of colors. The dash cover is meant to protect your vehicle’s plastic dashboard components from UV rays, which can cause discoloration and cracking. Moreover, dash covers are typically dark so that they don’t cause glare, which can make it difficult to see out of your windshield in bright sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dash Display Switch<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is a switch for a vehicle’s dashboard, which is where the clocks, gauges, and control panel can be found. The switch allows the driver to easily operate some of their vehicle’s systems, such as the lights, air conditioning, heating, and radio. Each system has its own switch, with a symbol printed or engraved onto the switch face to indicate which one it corresponds to. Most modern vehicles follow the standard size of 37.5mm by 21.2mm for switch holes, but this can still vary depending on your vehicle’s year, make, and model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daytime Running Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Daytime Running Lights<\/strong><\/a> (DRLs) are a set of lights that include the front parking lights, separate DRL lamps, and headlights. On some vehicles, these lights turn on when the engine starts. On others, these lights turn on with a delayed operation until a sensor detects that the vehicle has started to move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most factory daytime running lights operate headlights with a reduced intensity. It’s still advisable to turn on the headlights as usual when driving at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A daytime running light bulb<\/strong><\/a> is responsible for creating the light inside the vehicle’s daytime running light. It’s installed on a vehicle’s front and typically illuminates when the vehicle is started, regardless of whether or not the vehicle’s headlights are activated. Unlike the vehicle’s headlights, daytime running lights aren’t meant to illuminate the vehicle’s surroundings. Instead, they’re meant to improve the vehicle’s visibility for other road users. Daytime running lights can use halogen or LED bulbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deck Lid Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A deck lid lock<\/strong><\/a> is a locking mechanism for a vehicle’s rear trunk. Deck lids are a term used to refer to trunk lids in vintage vehicles. The deck lid lock uses a hook or latch to prevent the trunk from opening. Deck lid locks are much simpler than modern trunk locks since they’re entirely analog and rely on the key’s turning motion to lock or unlock the trunk. Over time, the deck lid lock might fail to close or open properly, which can warrant getting a replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diesel Emission Fluid (DEF) Heater<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Diesel vehicles have diesel emission fluid (DEF) injected into the exhaust before the catalytic converter to help reduce emissions. A diesel emission fluid (DEF) heater<\/strong><\/a> prevents DEF fluid from freezing during winter. Once the vehicle is started, the DEF heater will quickly turn the fluid back to liquid to allow it to flow through the line and DEF pump. A malfunctioning DEF heater can cause your vehicle to trigger limp mode or have performance issues because of the effects of having no emission fluid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Differential Locker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Differential Locker<\/strong><\/a>, also known as a locking differential, is a component of a vehicle’s drivetrain system that can lock the axles together. During turns, the differential locker operates like an open differential, allowing the wheels to rotate at different speeds. When traction is needed, however, it locks the axles mechanically by forcing the wheels to rotate at the same speed. Differential lockers are especially useful when off-roading, and they can be manual or automatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Door Lock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The door lock<\/strong><\/a> is the mechanism that keeps the door closed by hooking onto the latch located on the door frame. Door lock mechanisms can come in several forms. They can be like a door lock actuator, which is a whole assembly installed on the side of doors that controls the vehicle’s locks. Alternatively, door locks can be small lock cylinders that require the key to be turned to unhook a hinge and unlock the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The <\/strong>Door Lock Switch Connector<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is an electrical component that connects the door lock switch to the rest of a vehicle’s electrical system. The door lock switch sends signals through the connector to the vehicle’s door lock actuators, which closes or interrupts the circuit depending on which way the switch is flicked. This allows the switch to control which doors lock or unlock. A master door lock switch can often be found on the driver’s side, and its connector can send signals to all the vehicle’s doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
