P0446 Rat Damage

[Fordoldfart]

Had a P0446 check engine light come on. Wouldn’t clear would just come back as soon as the truck was started.
Put truck on lift loosened the card board on the left side and sure enough the both wires to the solenoid was chewed in two. He got it in 2 places had to splice in about 4 inches of wire soldered and shrink wrapped. Light has stayed off.
little rat bastard. I will put some Irish spring soap in there. That seems to deter the fellows.

Ah, the orange variant. Excellent choice.

I tried one of those in the engine compartment once. Made quite a mess the next time I started the truck.

(fyi - this is a joke...)

Also need the mechanical units. Live cats have limited capacity. Works best in pairs. The fast rodents will only catch a hind quarter. They will then try to eat the trap and wires to get away. I've had to replace the anchor wires a few times when a trap ran away.

I am in love with your co-pilot. -
