    2017 Tacoma Off-road automatic.

    My truck has been sitting for a few weeks. Upon starting the vehicle the entire dash was lit up with check engine lights, ABS, Brake, and every other light possible illuminated.
    Found a squirrel nest within the engine bay. Chewed quite a bit of plastic covers and two electrical connections.
    The mass airflow sensor connector and the ABS module/ brake connector.

    It did also chew the bundle of white wires to the lower right of the battery. They were not severed and should be able to fix easy.

    The damn squirrel chewed right at the connector and has left no excess to fix. Does anyone know the part number or where to get replacements that has wires already terminated on the connector? So, I can splice and solder together. I can only find just the connector w/o wires.

    Here is a pic of the two connectors.

    Thank you for your help!

    Yeah those white with the black stripe are grounds...bad grounds lead to weird things happening. Like what was mentioned before file a claim and replace the harness otherwise you gonna be chasing gremlins for a long time to come.
