I came out to start my car this AM and it wouldn’t turnover. My rear camera also stopped working recently. Assumed it was a fuse but when I looked under the hood…I live in the city and it appears as if rats got into this part and chewed it to pieces:








i can get my hand down there but I can’t seem to be able to pry the silver/grey harness connector out. The wires are all chewed away and there’s nothing to pull on to try to pull it out. Anybody replaced this before, any tips?

 

it looks like it is connecting to the trans, can you take pictures a little further zoomed out?

2014 TL FWD or AWD? FWD shows a complete wire harness for about $450.

Make sure you remove all that nest/debris so they don't come back so easily.

 

Great house for rodents, it is clear that the owner forgot to check his car under the hood, because such a mess does not happen in one week. If you are lucky, you remove all the plastic, completely inspect the entire wire harness and find that the problem is only in this place, then you can only change the connector, if these rascals have eaten everything, then it is an expensive job to replace the entire harness.
