About 3 weeks ago after returning from a 4 week trip, I discovered rodents had gotten into the engine compartment and caused electrical wiring damage to the van. One problem was that the door lock switches would randomly activate whether or not the engine was on or not.
Most of the damage was covered by insurance, but the repair shop could not find any evidence the rodents caused the above problem. Rather than fix the problem entirely, I asked them to just turn off the mechanism in the body module that controls the switches. They have done that.
However, I befuddled by the fact that this problem appeared at the same time as the rodent difficulty. Are there some areas of the engine and its electrical components that could have been disturbed by the rodents other than the wires?
