Default Chewed wire harness...

My interior light stopped working a month or so ago and I could not figure out why and then I got an ABS light on the dash last Sunday. When trouble shooting the ABS I found an open circuit between the ABS pump and the front right sensor. Further inspection revealed that an F'ing rodent ate the main wire harness in the area just behind where the ABS pump is located. See photo below.

The rat trap got armed and loaded soon after.

Repair looks to be straight forward.

Its pretty common. Every time winter would come rodents would chew through wiring harnesses just to get into the vehicles to burrow. Used to work in the shop. Labor was about $2,000+ to replace the whole harness. Stupid rodents.
