Do I need to replace the entire harness or can I get a pigtail connector to solder in place to fix the issue. Not a good time for xmas to be stranded The squirrels also got into my minivan and chewed up the air intake system twice along with the hood insulation.

Anyone else have squirrel issues and how do you prevent them from doing it again?

Thanks in advance for your info.
Sorry for reviving this thread. I just found out I had the exact same issue with the same wires being chewed straight off on my 2013 4runner. I've replaced the wiring harness before due to a similar issue elsewhere on the vehicle and would like to avoid that pricey option.

Were you able to just solder on a new connector? Thank you so much.

This MIGHT help (?). We had tree rats & mice eat up the wiring on the ATVs at a hunting camp. Don't know if squirrels are the same, but rats and mice cannot vomit! Mix baking soda with peanut butter and leave as bait. Dogs will like it, also but they can vomit. Be safe and place bait where the dogs can't get to it.

In grad school, we used peanut butter as bait when doing small rodent surveys.
