Sections of wiring loom found on floor

[Zorb]

Hi everyone, does anybody recognise this loom? I moved my T6 2016 Caravelle and this was underneath it! Can't help thinking it's not a good thing. Drove fine last time I used it.

Do the ends look chewed - could be mice or rats ?
Can’t help with what it is.

Looks like foxes having a chew, common problem. Do you get an adblue fault on the dash?

No faults show. That's why its confusing!

 

[Pauly]

Have you driven it yet ?
Might need to drive for a couple minutes before things like adblu problem shows

 

[Zorb]

No I haven't driven it yet, thought I'd see if anyone knew the wiring colours first, just in case it was anything serious that could cause damage.

When I first noticed I had my cables chewed through I had a stop start warning light on. The picture below was the one I took at the time, I think you can just see the cables chewed through are brown plus a blue and white one like yours, I suggest you crawl underneath and have a look, you need to go in line with the back of the front wheels, there is also a thread on here on rodent damage

Thanks Jim I'll have a look and risk test driving it tomorrow morning.

Surely both sets of those wires are white and blue not blue and white? Need to know what you are looking at on a wiring diagram.

There's a purple/black one too.

The point I was making is the cables I had chewed through look the same colour as the OPs so it’s worth checking under the car in the same location

Having the same issues as above... suspected foxes as I seen a few of them playing around my van last week ;(

I have made a temp repair to the loom with some soldering and heartshrink.

I reset the everything on carista but my oil light is still flashing yellow and my start stop isn't working. Is there a fuse specifically for the oil sensor??

I didn't see any other wires damaged underneath but looks like I will need to get under again for a good inspection.

I have sprayed a water / vinegar solution under the van to hopefully stop further intrest.
