    I need help ASAP! Leaving for college in a couple days and a rat decided I should stay, it chewed up some firewall and the wire between a connector for a rail that had to do with air flow or vacuum, I’m wondering if anyone has advice for how to fix it correctly or the part/serial # to replace it.

    I have similar issue on my accord parked outside. Neighbors love to feed squirrels peanuts and these suckers are leaving pieces of peanuts on my car battery. I trapped a few thinking I got him and more show up after relocating ugh. Not sure what to do.
