Yes. Specially if you live near the countryside. It's actually very common. Mice will make nests inside the engines because it's warm there, and they will destroy all wiring and rubber tubes.

Tach on my 1985 Chevy monte carlo quit working, checked distributor connections and it's still connected. What could be reason tach isn't working?

I would look for a bad wire. A sitting vehicle is a natural place for all sorts of rodents to move in and chew on things you don't want chewed on.

Hi i have a jcb 8014, but it has been out side for the last 2 years, ive put a new battery on it, but when i turn the key the ignition panel is totally dead, any suggestions ???

Yes, I would imagine that your contacts are corroded or that a rodent has chewed through your wires. Check these carefully. When you turn the key, does any battery operated feature work? Headlamps or gauge panel?

Tried everything n still wont crank. 89Suburban 1500 5.7 sat unused for 8yrs. Tried everything

Will need to completely drain and flush fuel system and tank for starters. May even need new fuel pump. Possible mice/rats/rodents have chewed through wiring. Need to get some oil on cylinder walls where it sat for those eight years.What does it do when trying to crank it now ?

2002 Buick Century Custom. Why won't the radio turn on?

Perhaps the rodent chewed on a wire the repairman missed.

Fuel gauge, temperature gauge, 4wd and ac/heat went out

Maybe a loose wire or possibly a rodent chewed through one of the wires. Check to make certain all leads are free of debris and connected and no bare wires are rubbing against each other.

4 wheel light service light

It is very hard to say without performing a visual inspection, a function test, and/or scanning your transfer case controller for possible fault codes (If the "Service 4 Wheel Drive" light is on, I guarantee there will be fault codes). It could be anything from a stuck front axle actuator to to a corroded transfer case shift motor, a cracked or broken vacuum hose, or wiring harnesses that have been chewed-up by rodents.

Rodents chewed the wires leading from the harness side of the connector for the front o2 sensor on my 2007 hyundai sonata. I cant seem to obtain the correct order of the wires as the dealer says this is...

Rataway fragrance stops odors caused
by rats, mice, squirrels, etc... rataway_bottle.jpg
Makes one gallon when mixed
and protects the surface of areas used for nesting.

Rodents and other animals mark territory (your car, house, etc.) with their scent. Animals are attracted by this scent. Rataway fragrance gets rid of the scent. No lingering scent, no more attraction.

Rataway fragrance protects car engines, wiring, boats, motorhomes, machinery, heavy equipment, etc. when sprayed to protect the surfaces

Rataway fragrance is not a pepper spray.

If you are looking for an effective, natural control for odors, Rataway fragrance is it.

Again... Rataway fragrance can be used around children, pets, and service personnel.

What is Rataway Fragrance?Rataway fragrance is a spray that is very offensive to wild animals such as rats, mice, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, dogs, cats, horses, skunks, and monkeys. Rataway fragrance is not offensive to humans.

Under warranty

I have seen the damage that one squirrel has done on a Dodge van. Unfortunately all of the injector wires needed to be respliced. It happens more often than you think. I also knew of a rat that chewed through a serpentine belt on a 5.0 liter Mustang. The owner started the car and chewed the heck out of that rat. True story. What a mess he made.
