Default Squirrels in Engine Bay.

Hey all. I have a 2001 Zr2 Blazer. Truck would not start after sitting for a week. All to find out squirrls made a nest, had babies and ate through alot of wires. Most are color coded, however harness going from CPM to fuse box has a ton of Pink wire with no tracers. What are these and best way to match them up would be much appreciated.

You are going to need a complete wiring diagram to figure it out if planning to do this yourself. Damn tree rats!

Though they do make a tasty jambalaya!

put chicken wire around the bottom then go for a 2 hour drive... if they want to be a part of the engine you can make them permanently so. turns out baby squirrel souls are +2 hp and +3.2 mpgs EACH! well worth it

thanks for the cooking advice. Went to the junk yard today and cut out sections of a wire harness so I can do a contituity test from pin to pin so I can deternmine where my wires go. Since my contituity is broken. Thats the weekend plan, will let you know how it goes.

The Blazer is alive again. The contituity test worked except for three brown with white wires coming out of the computer. Through tracing wires one was cruise control and one the CEL due to a code 650, with a little trial and error and hell of alot of patience all is resolved.
