Anyone using mouse repellent pouches to repell mice from chewing the wires? I just lost power steering in my 2015 Ford Fusion. A mouse chewed through a wire going to the electric power steering rack.

Supposedly strong minty or citrusy things help, like Irish Spring soap or strong lemon air fresheners. I live in a wildlife corridor area, lots of critters, and nothing I have ever tried has worked other than physical barriers and traps. Have successfully kept the garage sealed for last couple years but it takes vigilance. I had significant wiring damage on my 997 previously. Rodents can squeeze thru the tiniest openings or chew their own. So, definitely patch up any openings and maybe lay some snap traps down.
