Took my pick up into the dealer to get wheel bearings replaced. My horn hadn't worked, so I mentioned it. Turns out a rat ate some wires under the fuse box and hopefully $400 later my horn will work. I shoulda bought a ford, their so ugly a rat wouldn't have got near it! :)

HEY! How about a truck cover for when the truck is parked in a garage, shed, barn etc. where there are mice and other creepy crawlies, that has the image of a FORD on it to scare all the creepy crawlies away! :-)

Or some moth balls under the hood.

Your truck gets parked in the garage? Mine is jealous!

I wish I had a garage to park mine in.
A rodent chewed the pass front abs wire in two at the plug where it is on the frame rail. It was chewed so close I didn't have enough to splice it back together and had to find another plug to fix it.

I read that corn is a product in the wires and the reason for rabbits and rodents eating the wires.

Rodents will eat any wire insulation, not just automotive. They ate the insulation off of wires inside wiring gutters of a sewage treatment plant I ran, until the control called for a start, then they fried. Mice love the warmth inside electrical motors that have shut off, they crawl inside and die when the motor restarts - shorting out the starter switch. I even had them build nests inside generator sets with block heaters. One built a nest in the control panel - cost $5,000 for repairs. They even built nests inside air cleaner intakes. They will eat hoses, belts and anything made of rubber. All equipment and motors need to be rodent proofed.

At the firing range I even had a yellow jacket try and eat chunks out of my blue Nytrile gloves I wear when cleaning a rifle - man he really worked on it until he met an untimely death.

Moral of story: Take measures to control rodent and pest populations. Traps, rodenticide, anything to limit exposure.
