Rat Invasion!

I need help ASAP! Leaving for college in a couple days and a rat decided I should stay, it chewed up some firewall and the wire between a connector for a rail that had to do with air flow or vacuum, I’m wondering if anyone has advice for how to fix it correctly or the part/serial # to replace it.

 

If you're really in a hurry, I would just splice it.

I’m very lucky to have cats visit and pee on my 4R.

 

Here ya go - just went through this a couple of months ago, easy fix:

Same issue - easy fix. get the injector connectors as above

 

what a dick!

 

nice work sir!

 

OP - did you get your repairs completed okay?

 

OP is MIA...one and done?

 

Probably got it fixed and trying to settle back in at College. I am hoping he got it corrected/repaired.

Dang varmints.

 

rats ate him

 

I have similar issue on my accord parked outside. Neighbors love to feed squirrels peanuts and these suckers are leaving pieces of peanuts on my car battery. I trapped a few thinking I got him and more show up after relocating ugh. Not sure what to do.

 

Tree rats need a little lead adjustment.

 

Yeah I live in the city though 50 ft wide lots so unfortunately not an option

 

Pellets are quiet and adequate for the task.

 

This stuff works.

 

Lol, next time you start a fire throw in on there. Get the nieghbors out and moving around?

 

Plus very effective with a good set up!

 

Unbelievably effective! I have a Stoeger with a scope and it is great for lead adjustments!!

 

Hello! I have a simple and affordable tip to eliminate rodents in general. All you need to do is place a box with small holes, filled with moth repellent to keep them away or with a rodent repellent product to get rid of them permanently, in the engine compartment of your vehicle. I have been using this method for years and I no longer have any issues with nibbling.

 

Thanks for the posting. Do you have a specific product (specific repellent)you recommend to put in the box?

 

I'd go for mothballs.

For poison, try a mix of peanut butter and baking soda. Safe for cats and dogs.

 

How do so many different people from different parts of the country have this problem? Perhaps it’s a national study. Because we know that Hilux owners don’t talk about experiencing it.

LMAO

 

After you fix it, mix water and peppermint in a sprayer bottle and spray all the electric wires around your engine compartment. It happened to one of my Mustangs too. The peppermint/water solution has worked for me but you gotta do it approximately every 6 months to maintain the strength. Wait until the wires are dry before restarting the engine.

 

Good to know. Thanks.

 

We feed the neighborhood cats and even built them a condo. They also sleep in the garage. One moved in to the house but has full access to the outdoors. No rats, no mice.

 

That also keeps wasps and yellow jackets at bay!
