Mice chewed wire harness... Again

Bucket of death they can't resist peanut butter far more attractive than wires.

 

I had problems with rodents in my shed where I park my toys (the Taco sleeps outside). I use a mix with peppermint oil/water and a dash of dawn soap. I cup of water takes 3 teaspoons of peppermint oil. The soap is to mix the ingredients. I use a spray bottle to spray whatever is parked in the shed. It actually smells nice but mice hate it. I also turn a small radio om some 24 hour talk radio program (low volume). It's enough for mice to think there is someone in the shed. I also spray the interior and engine bay of the HiLux minty minty fresh.

 

I recently got a knock sensor job on a 08 4.0 ToyotaTacoma , i thought ,remove upper lower intake ,easy access ,not a chance .
The protocol requires engine removed and take one head off 18.5 hrs,, I did neither , I pulled front and rear coolant jackets ,pulled the hold down bolts and studs ,manipulated the pipe to one side then the other with 12 mm wrench unbolted knock left it on harness pulled them out put on new ones on harness ,using small cord ,snaked back in place with magnet and allot of patience with my fingers tips tighten enough to get a wrench on , reassemble 10hrs 3.5 of those on the sensors .Tricky as heck ,but it can be done

 

Can someone please help me fix my photo when I make a post? It looks real small when it's in the regular forum. I have tried all kinds of things and I can seem to make it bigger. It looks like it's just the corner of the box.

 

I have a smartass mouse in the garage, he ate the peanut butter off the trap without setting it off and crapped on the bait tray.

 

Dammm, My daughter found one in the garage and steep on him by accident. Broke one of his legs so she threw him away in a bag for me to get rid of. Well, the bastard got out of the bag, crapped all over the place and he's gone. Now, I smell something that smells bad in the garage so I know that he did not get far. Now, I have to move crap around in the garage to try and find him. We don't even get to park a car in the garage because it's filled with junk.
