Rodents Chewing Wiring?

[tbryanh]

Does anyone know if 3rd gen 4Runners have petrolium-based insulation or soy-based insulation on the wiring?

Apparently rodents such as mice, rats, squirels like to eat the soy-based insulation. Petrolium-based insulation is not necessarily immune to rodents, but soy-based insulation is apparently very susceptable to rodents.

Also, is there a way to test which type of insulation is on the wiring?

Petroleum based wiring. 3rd gen's were manufactured before soy based automotive wiring became the hip thing.

The Joy's of rural living. Chucks of Irish spring soap and bounty drier sheets like to keep critters away. Unless you like cats. Cats keep all critters at bay and away from the rides.
