It might be the partial failure. As you mentioned you will have a spare. I carry a spare in my console. I had my cps replace by Ford under the recall.
Hope it works for you. Best of luck. vettdvr.

Glad you found it. I bought a corvette that was drivable and stored in a barn that a rat had eaten lunch on the engine. Took a while to sort it all out.

If it is outside and will be parked for a while you can leave the hood open. For some reason the rats like the hoods closed when they go chewing on wires. It worked for my old truck when I parked it for about 6 months.

I don't think a rat did this, more like a chipmunk or squirrel, my neighbor feeds them all the time. What shocks me is the truck was only parked for 12 hours. My brother who is a cop said to spray pepper spray in the wheel wells. They have an explorer at the station that they replaces the wires 3 times. Hopefully I will only do it once. The dealership said about 250 - 300 for the wires, just need to get some numbers off of it to order the part. Hope this does not happen to any of you, it sucks!

Well I ordered the wiring harness tues and will be here on thurs. The original price of 200-300 was way off, try 552.28. That was with a discount and no tax, OUCH. So far the wires are bad, some fuel line, and my GPR have all been chewed on. I hope I never find the animal that did this to me. If anyone has this problem let me know I will post the part # for the wiring harness when I get it tomorrow.

Don't know how this would work for something you drive

The problem is the truck was parked in the street, in front of my house in the same spot I always park it, and it was only about 12 hours before I went to leave. I guess it was 11hours to long.
