Since this discussion has wandered a bit and reached a satisfactory conclusion, I will throw in one about critters chewing wiring in new vehicles. We have a vacation place in North Georgia, and another owner in the development recently had the wiring harness eaten up on his relatively new Toyota SUV. The vehicle had to be lifted and trucked down to a dealer near Atlanta for repair. The car owner, who has occupied a vacation condo in this development for more than 10 years, said that six circuits were damaged, and his insurance company is going to pay for the repair. This had never happened previously to his knowledge, and he believes the damage was caused by chipmunks. There was material for a discarded carpet found in the engine bay. I'm dubious about the chipmunk theory, but rodents for sure. Another vacation resident up there, a retired fire captain from a major Florida city and after retirement a trainer at the Florida fire academy in Ocala, told me that the use of "soy" (soybean material, I assume) is prompting this wiring destruction and lawsuits are flying. I have suggested that our condo association invest in a Have-A-Heart (sic?) cage trap, bait it with maybe peanut butter, and see what happens.
