    Hello everyone, long time lurker, first time poster.

    Had my 2011 double cab break down last night, was acting like a bad alternator but that and my battery ended up testing good. I knew I was having an issue with my radio the other day so decided to start checking wiring and found the carnage posted.

    Would anyone happen to know what module these are connected to and what harness I need to order? Also any tips for keeping mice out of vehicles? Never had an issue with mice until now.

    That harness looks separate from the airbag harness (ones taped in yellow), I'd just solder and heatshrink new sections of wire in as replacing the harness would likely involve complete dash disassembly.
    There's a cabin intake screen mod that may help keep them out of the interior, @TnShooter can probably post the link to the thread.

    Pretty hard to tell from one photo but it looks like you’re under the center dash which is under the radio. That harness is probably part of the dashboard harness. It would be pricey to replace and a lot of labor involved. At the dealer we would just replace the sections of wire that were damaged. Use heat shrink and solder.

    I should have been more clear and stated that it is the harness under the radio.

    I wasn't worried about labor but if it's pricey it looks like I'll be repairing the harness myself, I will also definitely being doing that intake screen mod. Thank you!
