Holy Moly!

the "Check Engine" light on the Toyota 4Runner has been on for a few days so I take it to the dealership for troubleshooting......they call me back saying they are getting a knock sensor code.....that they popped off the engine cover and can see where a rodent chewed through the wires to the tune of $693...........ahh, are you kidding me? Went to see for myself, nope, they weren't kidding me. Been back and fourth from the dealership all day

Did an online search, are auto manufacturers using SOY products instead of rubber to insulate wires nowadays? attracting these little bastards?





what do you use to keep these mother truckers away?

 

 

a lil rat poison works wonders too.

 

 

Two miniature daschunds, they kill gophers, rats, mice, ... try to kill cats, pretty much anything un-human that moves that they don't like .

Mini-Wieners FTMFW, they only eat a cup of food a day, weigh 10-13 lbs.

 

check with your home owners insurance. a guy brought he truck in several years ago when i first started mechanicin, a mouse chewed the injector wires and they touched and fried the pcm. he got his home owners insurance to cover it

 

Its true, they are feirce!


Really sucks to hear, hope it all gets fixed

 

Mouse problem? Get a cat. If the cat doesnt fix the problem then get one of these, they will eat the cat and the mice.

 

Go buy some peanuts and sticky mouse traps! no more issues and you can see what you caught!

 

maybe it was a squirrel.
