Greetings,

Although you've probably heard it before, take a lesson from me. A mouse/rat has been getting into my garage at night (without my knowing)and chewing my wires under the hood. The only ones he got were going to the hood latch on the drivers side. He busted both of them, but nothing seems to be awry.

What are those wires for?

And take it from me, guard against these little bastards - my wife's Toyota Avalon had to be towed to the dealer ($100)to have a major part of the abs harness replaced along with the spark plug wires. It's going to cost $1950. I'm not kidding. Luckily, towing, damages, rental car, and repair all covered under auto comprehensive.

All because of a 2 dollar rat.
