Mouse damage!

So I opened my fuse box for the first time in about six months and this is what I found. I’m guessing this happened during March or April when I was laid off for a few weeks due to Covid concerns since this is my work truck and gets used 6 days/week. Either way, now I have some chewed up wires in my fuse box and I am in no way competent enough to chase these down and replace them. The black wire is the + for the battery, no idea what the other ones are.

I’m guessing I’ll have to have someone take a deeper look to assess the damage. Anyone else ever have something like this happen? Electrical repairs scare my wallet.....

 

Lot of people have this problem. Something about the wire coating being made with some soy substance. I don't know what you are in for repair wise but know you are not alone. Do a quick search and you'll find other threads

 

Insurance claim?

 

Ahhh I see! Does seem to be pretty common. Going to have to do some rodent proofing once I get it figured out

 

Yea looks like that’s what’s going to have to happen. Hoping for the best
