I have a 2007 LS 460 that has been sitting for about a month in my drive. In that time squirrels had packed the entire engine bay solid with walnuts. I cleaned them all away and found at least one wiring connection that had been chewed through.
Wire is attached to the back of the brake fluid reservoir (see end of screw driver). There appears to be another connector below the abs box (harder to see in pic) that has had the wiring chewed off. Did the pictured connector go from point a to point b?
can anyone help me out with a picture of the path of this wire or info on what it is connecting?

While I have never had squirrels eat any wiring my son's American Bulldog did crawl under my Brand New 1999 Ford F350 Dulley and eat the Transmission harness. He left just enough space that I could splice in some wires from the connection. Was not a happy Dad.

People can and do splice in new connectors on Lexus cars. It's generally less money than replacing the entire harness. Best wishes fighting off these bushy tailed rats. I've read that moth ***** are a good repellant.

Good quality heat shrink tubing and soldering will be a good fix to the problem. However, you will need to figure out how to keep rodents away from your car.
