    I posted this on the main 2nd gen page, but haven’t gotten any replies. Looking for help please.

    2018 SR5 DC, 5.7 4x4, 75,000 miles. So l had a couple weeks off of work for the Christmas/new years holiday. The truck sat in my driveway for over a week. I went to get something out of my center console and heard rattling in the "lid". I started to shake it a bit, and pumpkin seeds started pouring out the bottom! Probably at least a cup! (We live in the country - have livestock and gardens. Grow lots of pumpkins....). So l assume a mouse must've gotten up in there?! How!? I also have a console vault installed. I put a couple mouse traps on top of the vault with the console lid open. But didn't get anything.

    A couple days later I drove the truck and the dash lights up like a Christmas tree! Check engine, traction control, pre collision sensor, trailer brake malfunction. Collision and trailer malfunction alternate messages in the center of the dash "....Visit your dealer" etc. I checked under the hood for any visibly chewed wires and didn'tsee anything. I saw a few posts about knock sensor wires? I am going to have my mechanic buddy plug it in and get codes. But I just wondered if the combination of these 4warnings could be narrowed down to a specific wire(s)? Or is it not even a chewed wire and just a strange coincidence? Truck seems to be running fine.

    I’m at my buddy’s shop right now. It's throwing code 2772. 4wd lo circuit. Comes on at 22mph. 4wd is working fine. He’s a bit perplexed. He thinks maybe a wire on top of the transfer case? He hasn’t had time to get it in to look at yet.

    Is there a way for a mouse to get up in the center console from underneath? Above transfer case or transmission?
