Thumbs down Squirrels ate my wires :(

I was looking under my hood today when I noticed a bunch of nutshells open randomly around my hood. I looked close and noticed whatever it was ate through some wires. Any idea what these wires are? I havent noticed anything odd with my car yet...

that is what it is. Those wires go straight to the headlights and turn signals. The wires still look ok, just inspect them and re-wrap them.

well they do look like headlight wires. I could be wrong. Are your turn signals dimmer then normal?

I can't beleive you don't understand why its funny that a squirrel crawled up into your engine compartment, kicked back, opened up some nuts and had your electrical wires for dessert. That's hillarious. We aren't laughing at you dude, just with you.

Tell us the color of the wires, be specific like blue with red stripe, etc. And I'll look it up for you in my software.

The colors of the wires are... White with a blue line is completely severed, brown with grey circles was completely severed and a solid black wire was pretty cut up. Any idea what these wires are?

For the ones that were severed, splice them back together, and solder them and shrinw wrap them. After that, re wrap them in loom and tape back up. If you're concerned about it happeing again, *** in a layer of aluminum foil in the taping they'll quit chewing when they get there.
