I recently bought a 2017 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. The outlet in the bed and hitch connection in the bed had dirt, etc. in and around the connection after removing the cover. How should I clean the area and connection without causing any electrical problems?

You can buy electrical parts cleaner at HOme Depot or at an auto parts store I believe.
