    Step 3. Tape the chafed wire individually.
    Step 4. Sleeve a shrink wrap over each bundle of individually taped wires. This will add protection & restore the OE look.
    That's pretty much it.

    Call PeligRacing +639152894590 if no dealership will do this repair for you. I have seen this procedure done w/o issues.

    Just finished reading my insurance policy, and it clearly specified the items acceptable in “acts of nature” and rodent inflicted damages is not the list.

    If this were a different car w/ the coil pack, the chewed insulation would already be causing you much trouble. CELs & misfires.

    ours is not a coilpack wiring (the ones with wrapped spiral core wire). these are normal stranded wires. chewed up harnesses are not honored by insurance from experience. this is recoverable. that tape job is fugly tho.

    perhaps it is included in the usual comprehensive insurance without acts of nature.
    acts of nature events refer to natural disasters or catastrophies, but to rat bites on individual components of a car...?? UNLESS! your neighborhood was invaded by an army of rats and every car therein had their wirings chewed off...

    file it under "malicious mischief". does insurance mention, that to be qualified, the perpetrator should be a human? heh heh.

    but it can be repaired.
    any electronics aficionado worthy of his soldering gun, can repair those, po.
    show it to a radio-tv repairman, or an aficionado.
    tiyaga lang po yan.
    no secrets.

    good luck.

    btw,
    we top off the repair, by knotting some strong string (pang-ganchillo) around the tape, to prevent loosening of the tape over time.
    shrink wrap also works, but i am wary of the engine heat's long-term effect on it.

    Just ask your insurance provider. Mine covers animal damages as part of acts of nature. Thankfully i havent claimed this coverage but im a 1000% sure my insurance covers this
