    Rodents ate wires on top of wheel drivers side. Not sure what they are (AC relay?). Anyway anyone have a pic of what they should look like. I'll splice in a fix once I see how it should look. ThanksIMG_7202.HEIC.jpg

    Damn that sucks! Not sure how much this helps since the tape is still on but here is a picture of mine.

    just cut out the damage, one wire at a time and splice color to color. Then you can just tape up and put some sort of protection (loom, tape, etc)

    That is the wiring for the relay for the power inverter that powers the bed outlet, just match up the wire colors and use the correct gauge wire to splice it back together. And then either get rid of the critters or park somewhere else so they don't do it again.

    You got lucky. They seem to like the taste of the knock sensor wires.And that’s a huge job.

    The same shit everyone else has.
    That’s the inverter relay harness.

    Reconnect the corresponding wires back together.
