My ongoing battle with packrats continues this spring with my fifth avenue.
I think I'm losing the battle.
This month I've trapped 3 packrats on glue traps set inside the engine bay.
They seem to prefer the driver side flat area near the firewall and right next to all the electrical wires.
I had already butt spliced several wires 2 years ago to get things working again.
Now, they've been attacking the red wire coming out of that area.
I checked this just a few minutes ago and there is a new packrat on the glue trap with red plastic around him and a new bare copper area on that wire.
Could you tell me how difficult it is to re-run new wires?
I'll have to replace the inline fuse/link thingy as well or come up with a solution for that.
While we are at it, is there a barrier I can put around the wire bundle after I replace it?
Even if it is a sacrificial barrier, I'd rather replace some rubber/plastic/metal housing rather than these wires.
Point me in a directions please...
