Mustang Wiring Attacked by Evil Rodents

This 2010 Mustang has misfires and engine lights on. The problem is pretty obvious, rodents have been snacking!

The rodents thing is why all the farms including our own had dozens of cats living half-feral lives around the barns. It's pretty good hunting, and I don't recall any mouse nibbling on our tractors or other equipment :) The only thing the cats had some trouble with were the rats, but our farm dog probably got tagged in by the cats whenever they came across one, because they'd also get murdered about as quickly. If you have mice and rats, you definitely want to have cats and dogs living together.

Out here its field snakes that are left alone to quell the rodent population. I live right next to a big farmers field and the moment the weather cools down, the mice come running for the house. I know its strange, but I allow 1-2 black snakes to live in my basement and kill the mice during the winter. I then just scoop them up in Late February and take them outside and block off the basement. Its works well for the last 10 years - no mice.

[@kevinknight470]

Thanx for sharing. A dealer would probably wanted to replace the whole wiring harness, I hope the locals appreciate what you do, good job Wes.😃

[@aserta]

They'd better be. Stealerships always out to grift a person.

[@josephroth3982]

We repair harnesses at my dealership. If the harness is chewed up too badly, it's more cost effective to you, the customer to actually replace it.

[@mastertech7104]

WE also repair wire harnesses at my dealership and repair a lot of rodent destruction as well. 99.9% of the wire harness replacements we do are either requested by warranty or an insurance company.

[@josephroth3982]

Customers also have a hard time dealing with the cost. We work flat rate, a certain job pays a certain amount. Wiring repairs are considered "time-into" jobs and are charged the actual time into repairing. A seriously damaged harness could actually cause a car to be totalled by the insurance company if they cover nature damage.

[@dangates3022]

as an experienced dealership mechanic. believe me most mechanics do not want to replace a whole wiring harness. but you have to remember for the most part you have to decide as a tech what will be the repair that i do that it never comes back. (you don't get paid to do the job twice) some times you try and be the nice guy or lazy and fix it like wes. his repair fixed it, but that doesn't happen all the time. and if the car comes back due to a coincidence or intermittent issue requiring now a harness replacement either by poor design or because two wires deep in the harness fused together etc. that you cant see, well now you are looking like a dope, and own it. as a tech you have to walk the fine line as to what is best for the customer and then you. after getting bit in the ass several times and learning through years of experience some times you have to just replace the whole thing. remember the mechanic didn't build the car the manufacturer did. the mechanic didn't come to your house and chew up you wires lol. the mouse did. all he is doing is trying to fix it

[@localcrew]

I hear that an eighteen inch tall plexiglass wall around your vehicle will keep the mice out. And cats are always welcome to the party.

Hello Wes; A few years back I had the squirrels chew on the spark plug wires of my car. It barely ran. I had it checked out and found they got the rearmost plug wires. The guy was great and only charged 1/4th of what the dealer wanted. I acquired that peppery liquid they put around all the major food supply ware houses. That got rid of the squirrels and even stopped the local dogs from marking my tires. You might want to try that.

You may want to try bucket traps, Wes. I use them in sheds that are not mouse proof… it’s just a wooden ramp up to a bucket that has a horizontal wire going from one side to another and on that wire is a pop can lathered with peanut butter. The mouse goes up the ramp, steps on the can, which is not fixed to the wire, he rotates and falls into the bucket. You can put antifreeze in the bucket to speed up the process… you can catch a lot of the little devils with very little work.

[@TLNadventure2015]

Wes, try using swimming pool bleach tabs around the outside of your shop. Keep the tabs away from stainless steel. The bleach order will repel the rodents. I use them around my camper, works great.

Yo Wes, I did car electrical for almost 19 year and when I split open a harness I used a seam ripper available from anyplace that sells fabric and sewing stuff. As far as lubricating grommets or even installing hand grips on bikes/cycles - use rubbing alcohol.

Wes, I finally found a way to eliminate mice from my buildings and out of my vehicles parked inside. I'm not to far from you and live in a rural area as well. I feed the mice a 50/50 mix of Jiffy Honey Corn Muffin Mix and Baking Soda. I put it in a covered tubberware bowl with a hole in the side. The mice come in for a treat and their guts explode. Mice can't pass gass so when the dry mix hits their gut it's good night. I find them about 5 feet or so away from the bowl dead. The mix is safe for kids and pets as well. I've been fighting mice for decades and this is the first thing that really eliminates them.

Wes, Honda sells electrical tape that is impregnated with capsaicin that is the active component of chili peppers.

The part number is 4019-2317 and it costs about $40.00 per roll. I heard rodents gnaw on things to wear their teeth so they don't get get too big, apparently, rodent teeth never stop growing.

Great vid! Try a self-resetting mousetrap. A bucket of water, beer can, some-type-of-shaft and peanut-butter is ALL you need! Rodent walks across shaft until weight-shifts, then falls into bucket.

Meanwhile 2 Weeks Later........ " Thanks to everybody who sent me 5000 mouse traps I really got to remember to keep my mouth shut...( small sob) between running to the post office, baiting traps and checking my trap lines, Max and I have been kept pretty busy....I can't say that I appreciate all the (bleepin#) traps! Awesome harness repair Wes, clean and tidy . Its always a pleasure to Watch Wes Work.

Wes needs a shop cat desperately

[@bmacd2112]

About time you gather up 3 or 4 full time barn cats! At least this was one of the easier jobs you've had in a while.

Time for a shop cat, and some bait blocks. Another YT channel suggested to mix jiffy corn mix with some baking soda, put it in a deli container with an access hole. They eat it and then die from the indigestion. Good luck Wes

We have the same issure here in RI. My buddy is an exterminator and he said mouse calls this year are off the charts

[@davidsommerfeld2955]

This time of year I have multiple Tomcat bait boxes in the shop and garage. The barn cats can’t keep up when we are surrounded by pasture, alfalfa and round bales stored close by.

That happened to our RAV4 last winter. We had it towed to the dealership, they fixed the wiring and replaced the engine computer. It got toasted. Several wire connectors had to be replaced. The insurance covered all but the deductible...

A little tip you probably already know, you can wrap your tape around a small deep socket and use that to dispense the tape around the wire harness when the roll of tape is a little too big. And the rodent problem in a word........"poison." Poison somewhere where pets can't get to it and the little rodents can

Another great video Wes, keep up the great work

Was just pulling out my Xmas decorations and a mouse ate my green extension cord

[@rebelfluff17]

Sounds like Max needs a cat sidekick to help out around there.
