Angry that pissed me off

so yesterday i was getting ready to head out of town, when i noticed that my Engine light was on and so did the VSA,while i was stop at the red light the car feel like it wanted to stall, so i got really worry and call the service ppl from the acura dealer and told them what's going on with my car. and the service guy told me to bring my car in and he will get me a rental car cuz he said they didn't have any loaner car avaible.
anyway so i drop off my car at the dealer and they give me an Maxima 3.5SE 2004( oh btw that car has some power ) well after couple hour they called my cell phone and told me that a wire under the Intake Manaflow had been worn out due to a mouse, and they told me they wanted $215 to fix it, so told them not to fix anything b4 i come back, so today i went to the dealer and they show the worn out wire and i basicly told them that i'm going to fix it myself.

so my question to you guy is that , have any1 of you heard of that b4?? that a F#@Ckin mouse climb into the engine department and chew up any electrical wire??

sorry for typing this long, just wanted to vent a lil

I work as a service advisor in a Lexus dealership and we see it all the time. We have stock units that rats have crawled up into the engine bay and done $2,000 worth of damage to the wiring harneses. $215 sounds like you got off cheap!

little critters like engines 'cause they're warm tight - nice place to make a little home. $215 sounds about right

Yea, I think that's what happened to one of the electrical lines to my garage. I've got the 20amp for the air compressor but no overhead lights.
