Where can I find an engine compartment diagram

Squirrels got into my engine compartment and chewed up a specific set of wires that I can not find a diagram for figuring out what it is. I have 4 codes and before I go fixing them I would like to know what these damaged wires are part of so I don't end up change something that just needed a new wire assembly... thanks!

Okay, I'll give you a link to free wiring diagrams for every make and model. You can see the whole wiring layout for your particular car. Some of all wiring diagrams may include a page or two with a pictured layout of where the electrical parts being diagrammed are located, on the engine or in the engine compartment. You may identify those pages by the words "engcompartment" or compartment in the heading for a particular subset of wiring diagrams. I hope I'm not confusing you...Since you have your head in the engine compartment, anyway, look at it like this: every vehicle has several major electrical harnesses, one of the largest is the engine harness. It may start out from near the battery or near the firewall as a very large bundle. If you can follow how it lays out on the engine or on the whole powertrain, it may help you find the wires in question. Most of the wires, if not all, on the engine and transaxle will be part of that engine harness. And every sensor or controller will have a connector to the harness.

Is the vehicle able to move ? if so i'd take to a dealer who has the same model and have a look too see the undamaged wires etc as you would be better off with a new loom than trying to repair the wires if it is only at the peripheral end of the electrical system

Try "clearing the cache" by removing the negative battery cable for a few minutes. Before doing so, be sure you know how to reset the clock and radio codes & presets.

I am not sure for which wires set you are looking for.
You can go to www.autozone.com then go to repair info, and you can find your free online repair manual.
This is my main source for automible repair info

Subaru 2008 forester has power to running lights but the engine will not start or turn over ?

No. Brake light has nothing to do with that. You probably have some more damaged wires somewhere. Rats mice and squirrels can do major damage to wiring harnesses and often chew them in multiple places

Diagnostic code p0013, p0014

Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0013 is "Exhaust Cam Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit"
Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0014 is "Exhaust Cam Position (CMP) System Performance"

DTC P0014 can be caused by several things that can affect your variable cam timing system performance including using the wrong viscosity engine oil. However, since you have the DTC P0013, it is pretty obvious that the problem is being caused by a circuit malfunction in the control solenoid circuit. It could be as simple as a loose connection at the solenoid electrical connector. It could be that the solenoid itself has an open circuit in its coil windings, or it could even be caused by squirrels or mice chewing on the wiring harnesses in your engine compartment. You must diagnose the circuit to find the cause. Fixing the control solenoid circuit will most likely make both of these codes go away.

89 300E, sitting for 2 years, getting fuel to fuel distributor, but not to injectors. How does the fuel distributor work? and how can I test it?

The fuel distributor is mostly mechanical. It does however require a few signals from a small computer for idle speed and mixture adjustment.. I would look close for broken/chewed wires. Does the air flow meter move freely? Thats the large plate right in the middle of the distributor.

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.
