Nope. Warranty only covers factory defects. One could claim it under the vehicle insurance. it's actually pretty common. Specially if you keep your vehicle in the garage and also keep your pet food in the garage.

I figured as much. Depending on the damage I'd probably just pay the dealer out of pocket.

Could you not just splice the wires? Or did they replace all the wiring??

for 20 years, we have parked both vehicles in the garage and keep pet food on there. Are you telling me these worthless shits we call cats may actually have a good use? We've always had a pet door to the garage as I don't like them being fed in the house and we keep their litter boxes in the garage. I guess if we have to have a cat or two, keeping wires solid is worth the PIA.
