Hey everyone,

Just wanted an opinion from everyone involving some wiring that some mice had gotten to.
I will try to attach the pic that I took. If it doesnt work, Sorry.

Last night I was just poking around the engine casing the project to replace the TB/intake gasket. And I noticed that the wiring to the Map sensor looked funny after getting a better look at it I saw the teeth marks from mice eating the sheathing. I thought it would probably be best to just replace the wires and splice in some replacement. But I instead decided to use some electronics cleaner spray to clean the wires, the wrapped each individually with electrical tape. Then I put a wiring loom around all three and taped that as well.
I figured this would be a good way to keep moisture away from the bare wire.

 

I would try the brush on electrical tape or the electronics silicone inside of a heat shrink tube. I never like using electrical tape on a permanent connection on my truck.

 

I would try setting some mousetraps under your truck when you park it!! :P

No, but seriously, if it were me, I would solder in new wires and use heatshrink tubing on it, especially one the one with all the insulation gone and the wire strands frayed apart. If your gonna have to fix it, make sure you'll only have to fix it once!!

 

i second the replacement of the frayed wires i just got my 90 dakota on the road there were some rat chewed wires under the hood i solderd in some new ones and put silicone and heatshrink on the solder joints to make it water tight works good
