Your car may be covered from rat damage depending on your insurance policy. The only way to know for sure would be to contact your insurance agent
It very well could. Before I condemned it, I would check the wiring from the computer to the injector with a multimeter. Sometimes squirrels and rats love to chew the wiring for some strange reason.
Yes! They just destroyed my mothers car first they the power steering belt and then that same week he returned and chewed up the wiring harness...horrible!
Copper is almost always used in car wiring.
More likely birds, but rats are possible if they are using your car to get up to somewhere high.

Yes. They can chew through many metals including copper. Steel wool works fairly well for proofing because it irritates their gums-although it rusts. There is a copper product called stuf it that solves this problem & works as well.

The radio wiring would be found behind the wiring, and to the fusebox of the car. It would be found throughout the car to the speakers as well.Ê
You have to list the drivers covered to drive your car on the policy. If not he is not covered.

Is it continual, or intermittant? Mine does that only when it's damp - check your wiring to be sure it's all covered & contained as it should be.
