My uncle had I think it was a Jeep Cherokee or something similar that had to be basically taken apart and reassembled with new wiring because for that model the manufacturer had used a new kind of wire insulation that mice apparently like to eat.

Rodents call this stuff "delicious." Toyota was sued over the issue but the suit was dismissed. https://carbuzz.com/news/angry-toyota-owners-sue-again-over-engine-eating-rodents https://carbuzz.com/news/angry-toyota-owners-sue-again-over-...

I recommend this thing for rodents - they are insanely powerful. https://www.connovation.co.nz/products/doc200-trap-range https://www.connovation.co.nz/products/doc200-trap-range
