This time they almost got me busted.
So for a while, I parked the pickup truck and drove the little Subaru around, better Gas mileage and all that. Truck has not been on the road much since late June.
The other Day, a pal is helping me move some heavy objects, and notices that the Brake lights don't work. He was following my truck in his Jeep.
We were stopping for Lunch. We grab the Chevrolet owner's manual and quickly trace the Brake Light fuse(s). Meanwhile, the Pizza is getting cold.
So there is a fuse - box in the driver compartment, near the Wheel. The likely suspect, a 10 Amp fuse, looks OK.
And then there is another fuse - box in the engine compartment. We trace the likely culprit to another 10 Amp fuse, but it seems welded in. We got it out with some pliers.
GUESS WHAT !! It was Mouse-pee that created the Deadly scenario. Upon closer inspection, there were Mouse-poops in that fuse box. And tiny seed-hulls as well.
How the Heck do these little rodents get in there ??? There's not even a quarter-inch of clearance for the little bastards to wriggle in.

In the waning days of my old Subaru, mice had nested somewhere in there. Any time I turned on the heat or defrost, their piss-covered nest would come blowing out the vents.
