Where is ground by fuse
I installed a dash cam and hardwired it to the fuse box by the driver side, but I can't figure out how to connect the ground.
I attached the ground cable to the screw of the fuse box as you can see in the image, but it keeps disconnecting non stop. Does anyone know where there's a proper ground point near the fuse box and how can I connect a wire there? thanks |

I used the same bolt as you, but I put the ground connector on the back side (i.e. behind the plastic and touching the metal the bolt goes into). This works fine for me.
In general all metal parts in a car are grounded so any bolt that goes into metal should be good. |

I grounded on the metal frame under the dash immediately to the right of this fuse panel. There are bolts all set and ready to go.
