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.

Rodents make nests on the top of cabin air filters.
Most cars don't have a screen over the firewall opening. The opening is big enough for squirrels and small opossums. They then nibble on the cabin air filter, weakening it. The customer turns on the blower, it sucks the entire family into the squirrel cage, centrifugal force kills them and drains the "juices" into the blower housing and evaporator core. I charge MORE if I'm retching during the repair process! I add screens when I pull a dash. |
