So the Ranger is in the shop, the power steering and a few other
things have gone bad. The cause not a manufacturing problem, a
squirrel has chewed through the cables for the sensors. So a havahart
trap and a barrel of water is the solution. That and some copper
nickel coated braided sleeve. Warranty does not cover varmint damage,
but comprehensive will beyond $500 deductible.

Sounds familiar... A few years back a woodchuck chewed the wires on one of
the oxygen sensors in my car. It was the lower one and not readily visible.
The computer diagnostics were useless as it was throwing all kinds of random
codes. They tried another computer in the car but had the same results. It
was a $400+ car repair plus the cost of a new larger Havahart trap... In a
residential neighborhood where gun shots are legally frowned upon. The
woodchuck died regardless.
