MICE BITE Got Lucky
The Mice and Wiring.. 2016 JKU .. I am 2nd owner, working on install of Subwoofer and discovered Mice Nest remains under the Power Control Fuse Box.. Luckily only 3 wires were chewed slightly, wires intact, insulation open no Shorts.. would be a major repair if shorted... Only found after battery removed. Guess the insulation is Soy Bean based (environmental driven) which the Mice LIKE!. Taped with plastic electrical tape and probably will put some moth balls in the cavity. Just a Heads UP JEEPERS .. OlllllllO

I too just had an issue with my John Deere garden tractor. Wasn't running well. Took the engine cover off which revealed a rodent nest near the spark plug wire. About 4 inches of wire was bare with all the insulation chewed up. I repaired with 3m electrical tape and all is well.
