you should do a highway pull to fry the rat if it's still in the engine bay! haha it's winter time they are just trying to find a warm place....you can always solder your wires if you don't want to pay 5 bills.

It likes to crawl into your engine bay when it's warm. Had a nest in a friend's bimmer. Leave some rat traps on top of your battery!
