[QUOTE="MacFromOK, post: 3359284, member: 40864"] I rarely go to town (usually every 2-3 months), even before the CV thing. So I have to keep the car on a trickle charger or it won't always start. It's been a month or more, so I went out to hook it up yesterday. A rat had built a nest more/less on top of the AC/heater assembly under the hood. And they chewed apart every wire in the nearby harness. :/ I've had 'em chew wires before, so I keep antifreeze out (ha! when I can remember). Apparently it had been a while, so I reloaded the containers and put an extra one under the hood. So.... on top of the plumbing leak (most likely under our slab), I now have to spend an hour or two splicing wires. Assuming that's the only harness they chewed on, and didn't short out anything in the process. :/ When it rains, it pours. Literally... :drunk2: [/QUOTE]
