That's nasty. I'd be stripping the interior to the shell and attending upon that with the biggest diesel steam cleaner in the hire shop!

Ha ha! I left the dash in but stripped the rest and hosed it with hot water for about 30 mins. It was unreal

On a serious note, get a trigger spray mix of Jeyes fluid made up, spray the beejeesus out of it. You can get some nasty stuff around rats.....

My old SJ could take the power washer treatment. I removed the stereo, but the rest of the car was ok with it. Large fan to dry it up after

Wonder why wires are so tasty for the little critters. Or are the wires used for nest building, like scaffolding or for strengthening?

You should get a wiring loom from a donor as well it seems

Cool to see it coming to life, keep the pictures coming and welcome to the forum.
Google said:-
"Mice and rats can cause considerable damage that includes damage to electrical wires. Their teeth constantly grow, and they have an instinct to gnaw on things to wear down their teeth. They sometimes chew on things like wood or ducts, but they also chew on electric cords of all kinds."

So it's likely if you have something electrical not working it's going to be a broken wire courtesy of a rodent with a nice smile :laugh:

I'm certain mice and rats are incontinent and their urine carries something called Weil's disease - its nasty. They no doubt carry a ship-load of other evil bugs

Sniper is quite right - blitz everything with disinfectant

IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS
