I have 2, 8-month-old American Bully Puppies their mom an American Pitt bull Terrier. Their dad an American Bulldog. They made beautiful puppies. I love the puppies, but I never wanted more dogs. The problem is squirrels. There are squirrels that tease these dogs from morning to night. The mother and female puppy are most affected as they wake up to chase and run through anything to catch these things. I have seen them literally try to get up underneath some of the vehicles here to get to these squirrels that go up underneath int he hardest to reach places. This has caused plastic or covers in the wheel well areas to be damaged from the dog's fixation on getting these squirrels. These chattering little creatures just toy with the prey mentality of a dig that's so instinctual, they just can't ignore it. This has led to the truck having the wiring harness in 2 separate places severed completely. First place is under the car where the wires seem to run close by the distributor. About 7 wires there were all severed. But by the front driver's wheel well another cluster of wires were also found to be completely severed. The car just turns over and won't start. Before I knew of the severity I had a friend come to help me find out why the car wasn't starting. He rewired the cluster underneath but then we found the cluster by the wheel well. I've looked up the cost. It's enormous. It's my daughter's truck. I just want to know if we can solder the wires. And shrink wrap them and repair the problem or is there secondary issues because they have been severed that we will run into doing that? Please give me something, anything that I can do to fix this. I'm lost completely lost with this one.
