Only one HUMMER is listed. but there alot of cars and years with the damage in $ shown.

Here's what I bought from Amazon. It's auto on and auto off when you start your rig.

 

10 years ago I sold our Volvo V70 wagon to a friend of mine in Calif. He called last week and said he had the junkyard come and pick it up because rodents had ate the wiring harness.

 

It's serious problem ... all it takes is one bite in the right place and your car is stuck

 

HONDA makes a specific tape for that issue

Are you sure 1 roll is enough to do the entire harness...LMAO

 

When I first moved to Texas, our area was heavy new construction and it displaced the rodents (mainly rats) who would crawl into vehicle engine bays and go to town. It was primarily foreign vehicles at the time, as they used the soy-based wire coating. Mechanic told me to spray peppermint spray in the engine bay and around where I park once a month, every month. I did that and never had an issue.

 

One of the guys on my Corvette forum (Not The Corvette Forum) has a few cats. He takes some cat poop and Cat pee and puts it a Ziplock Bag and punches a few small holes in it. Then Puts it under the hood of his 70's Classic Dodge Truck . Never in all the years has he had any problems. Also keeps a few bags in the garage near his Corvette.

 

While showing a friend his Vette in the Garage I envision him saying... here is my sweet Vette, I always keep it smelling like Cat **** and Cat chit.

 

LMAO... Yeah ...we call him "Pasta" Here is his latest post along the same lines....
