For those of us ever Investigating these "No Crank - No Start"
problems in posterity... The First Thing we always seem to do whenever so many things go sideways on our Trucks, SUVs or Passenger Vehicles and they
Just Will NOT Start...
is to Open Up The Hood.
Note the Mouse Nest
hidden under the Fuse Box:
...and the Chewed Wiring:
BUT BEWARE... Once you lean over everything down there, you might be exposing yourself to Breathing In or Touching and getting Infected with the Dreaded HANTA VIRUS carried around in the Dried Feces, Desiccated Urine and Contaminated Nesting Materials as well as that Crap left upon surfaces nearby ...all covered with a
Greasy, Rodent Residue.
Back in the Early 1990s in areas of the southwest in the USA, people appeared at Local Clinics and Hospitals bearing symptoms similar to that of COVID-19 but actually suffering from a Hemorrhagic Fever of Unknown Origin.
It killed almost 40% of its Victims and left the Survivors debilitated for years afterwards... and took a lot of time and effort to finally discover that it was caused by people Inhaling Airborne Dust and Dirt contaminated with the Feces and Urine of The North American Common Deer Mouse.
THIS is what we should all be aware of... and Avoid Touching or Cleaning areas under the hood that bear THESE artifacts of Rodent Infestation. MASK UP AND GLOVE UP FIRST, IF YOU CAN SEE THIS HAPPENING:
Is that ...Eric "O" from SMA holding a friable, dried up Dead Mouse in his Bare Fingers? Yup...
So even the BEST of us still need to Be Very Careful whenever cleaning out this Mouse and Rat Mess from Under Our Hoods!
