Long story short: I've been parked on top of a mountain for the last two months, and we've got a lot og ground squirrels up there, they are relentless and chew crawl climb and get into everything, INCLUDING MY CAR. They actually climbed up on top of the transmission and proceeded to chew a hole up through the insulation and the rubber thingy around the shifter and into my car!! Not sure the extent of the damage but at the base of the parking brake i noticed that a small bundle of wires, 2 blue ones which lead to some sort of clip, hyave been thoroughly chewed on although still intact. it's very possible that they've touched since running the car, or that the black wire nearby have touched them, maybe shorting something out? (I haven't checked the fuse yet in my haste).

Or else there are some wires below the shifter which have been chewed? If so, what are my options? can i patch wires and it will work or will I have to do some major overhaul? This is mega-urgent as i'm now leaving my summer job for the forest service and have an 1800 mile drive ahead of me!! Please let me know what you think. Thank you so much!!
