Re: Sct bricked my car
I had rodent damage on my car when it was brand new. I guess from sitting on the lot. The first time I cracked the hood it had an acorn sitting on the intake manifold and chewed up firewall insulation. It has been garage kept ever since I have owned it and we have a cat so I doubt it happened at my place. The dealer fixed it under warranty since it must've happened on the lot. Had them go over everything to check for chewed wires. No problems yet.

When I worked at Ford in Burleson we had stuff get towed in from rodent damage on occasion, my buddy was the one always having to track down the damage. Funniest time was when 3 of us were checking one out and a possum popped up from the back of the intake valley and started to hiss, scared the shit out of us.

I would've grabbed a wrench and clubbed the shit out of that damn possum. LOL

Sorry, missed this one...
I quit toward the end of 09 and was there a little over 5 years. I miss working there, there were a lot of good guys there, just didn't pay enough.

The rodent thing is actually more common than you would think. When we were in the academy one of the guys I work with haf a squirrel chew his wiring harness up while we were in class. Went to start it and nothing. We open the hood and see a squirrel run out from under the car. 2k worth of work

Do insurance policies cover that?

Usually depends where the car is, if it's in the garage that's your best chance.

I guess in that case it could go on home owners if it covers that?

Yeah, just depends on the coverage. I want to say we covered somebody who had there car parked in the driveway and it was chewed on within the week of them buying it. We ended up covering it since they were a long time customer, I think they wrote that it could have happened while sitting in the back of our lot since we were next to a field.

Sct bricked my car
I would bet it was rodents not SCT. Tunes just don't go bad overnight and the message was because the pcm was dead not the tuner.
