AZJoe, I've merged your thread with this one. Take a look through the posts for suggestion. I would recommend getting the A/C system treated. You can do it yourself or have the dealer handle it. Then maybe try some suggestions in here to keep them out. Good luck.
Thanks, Anita
The real question I had is there a screen or some part missing that allowed access. (I don't want a snake like one person had... we have rattlers here)
Holy Mackerel! Where did the fiberglass insulation come from?
I have never seen anything like that. Thanks for the "believe it or not" pictures.

Just an FYI for anyone trying to get rid of odors. Ozone does well to remove odor and there are more and more portable devices for sale, mainly for hunting applications. I use one that plugs into the cigarette lighter to remove diesel smell from my truck when hunting. You need to realize it will destroy rubber so don’t use it for long periods. You also do not want to breathe it.
Hey everyone. So my Mom took her 2012 RX 350 to the dealer because another shop noticed some rat damage in the engine compartment. They found a chewed wire at a fuel injector connector. Not a big deal right? Ive been a tech at a VW dealer for 18 years and we repair wiring harnesses all the time because of rat damage. But the dealer told her they need to replace the entire engine harness! She will have to pay $1000 deductible. They said the wires are shielded and cant be repaired. Cant I just put a new connector with pigtail on it and be done with it?
Not sure but it sounds like the dealer just wants a lot of money. This thread goes into great detail on that subject. With your skill set, maybe you should first try to repair it yourself before she pays $1,000. I think other folks here just got the wires repaired.

Our 2012 with 85K has been running great for the past 15K that we have owned it, no issues.
Today started it up to go to the store and could tell at idle it was running rough, like a cylinder was misfiring.
Driving down the street it was definitely misfiring, seemed like just one cylinder, so turned around and changed cars.
Our other cars are Fords so I know what misfires feel like.
I carry an Autel MS300 Universal OBD2 Code Reader in each car just to check for codes, but I get an "Error" message on the code reader with the RX.
The product description on Amazon states it will work with a Lexus, seems strange, I'm just looking for the code.
It just started raining so I'll wait to tomorrow to break out the Techstream and try it out, haven't needed it before.
