2005 Durango Hemi 2WD. Didn't drive it for a week and it done got squirreled. Noisy startup and battery light, shut it down and took something else to work. Won't be able to mess with it for another week, but did go home for lunch today and popped the hood to find the chewed off alternator charge signal wire. Found a piece of vacuum line with a broken vacuum post/tube in the nest and was hoping someone could identify it just to help me cut down on some time when I clean everything out and repair it next week. The S10 sitting next to it must've tasted bad.

Typically we leave the squirrels alone but I guess I should've started doing something about them after one of my dogs blew out his ACL going after one last year. Today if there's still daylight when I get home I'll be breaking out the 20 gauge and making a friend of horror.

Thanks for any help.

Turned out to be from one of the windshield washers. They made a hole in the hood liner, got up in there, and broke both of them. Will wait until it warms up to hit the junk yard since the Christmas tree pins were snapping off trying to get them out, 0 for 2 before giving up.
