Yesterday my fiancé's mom brought her 2021 Subaru Forrester with 41,000 miles on it over because the CEL had come on. There were many codes stored and in many different systems. Because of this and the fact that something had gotten up into their 2017 F350 last year and had chewed on wires sent me under the hood.
The first thing I see is the wiring for the connector for one of the AC pressure switches chewed completely off as well as the cap for the windshield washer fluid bottle and they had chewed all around the top of the bottle where the cap sits. I could not see any other chewed wires, but I knew that there had to be considering all of the codes that were stored.
She took the vehicle to Subaru today and the entire wiring harness from the bulkhead forward has to be replaced to the tune of 5K.
My question is has anyone used a good method that worked to keep rodents out of a vehicle? They have a ton of squirrels at their house and looking at some of the teeth marks on the washer fluid bottle and the lower bumper where they also chewed, I'm thinking it might be a squirrel that did it.
Thanks for any ideas.
