My 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan has been sitting outside in the country. It turns over but won't start. It looks like mice have chewed through three wires that connect to the the top of the engine assembly. These are tri-color wires that run in a bundle to the top of the engine block. What are these wires for and could they be related to the engine not starting?

Hi, if an engine cranks but refuses to start, it lacks ignition, fuel or compression.
When the engine cranks normally but won't start, you need to check ignition, fuel and compression.
Ignition is easy enough to check with a spark tester or by positioning a plug wire near a good ground. No spark? The most likely causes would be a failed ignition module, distributor pickup or crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.
Glad too hear your making progress, sounds like your dealing with a reasonable shop too. For future reference, take notes when your vehicle acts up. The more information you cn give your technician the easier it is to be fixed. Good luck, let me know how you make out.
