This was a first... :(
My car is parked inside every night. I left it overnight in a well lit parking lot while I was staying at friends and in the morning it didn't start.
I took it to the dealer as I thought it was a warranty issue and it turns out a Rat made a nest and chewed through my cam angle sensor harness... $250 dollars later. This ever happen to anyone else? |

That sucks!
This is exactly why I paid the dealer extra for the small rodent repellent film option, money well spent it seems. |

Had a squirrel fill the intake on my Lancer with peanuts when I was away for a week once.
Had a possum hide on my driveshaft on my 58 Chev (it didn't end well for him) once. But never had a rat eat wires (yet)

I found a rats nest behind my bumper cover when I pulled it off to install fog lights. Would post a picture, but it's on Instagram and I'm lazy.

I had a old caddilac that a rat go into. Starting problems also, but he went through the engine harness.
I wonder how the rat got past all those underpanels. I hope your front bumper/wheels are ok. |
