    Hello all! I have a 2010 Tundra Platinum Crew Cab 4x4 that has been sitting in my drive way over winter. I went to start it and it just cranked over as if it were out of gas. I opened the hood and saw a big nest around the k&n air filter and the windshield wiper fluid tank and after removing it saw my computer wires had been eaten. Anyone have a wiring diagram on where the wires go to? I can follow white to white and black to black however there are so many same or similar colored wires that I'm pulling my hair out. I'm soldering each wire back together but without a wiring diagram I'm at a complete loss. Thank you for your help!

    I know this is about a week old but if you post some pictures of the damaged wiring and the connector they go to I can dig up the diagram

    Welcome from TX...
    Hope you get it straightened out. Seems like squirrels have waged war on vehicles lately.

    Call your insurance company, file a claim, have it towed to the dealer.

    LED headlamps/fogs; interior footlamps.
    Mix some bleach with water (50-50 or so), spray it on ground and areas under hood not subject to intense heat (e.g. engine/headers). Rodents smell their way to food, bleach is the opposite of food so they'll scramble. The odor lasts long after it is dry. Luck.
