rodent chewed up spark plug wires on Chevy 2002 venture.

Asked by GuruR78MP Feb 17, 2020 at 02:06 PM about the 2002 Chevrolet Venture LT Extended

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

rodent chewed up spark plug wires on Chevy 2002 venture. That is what I can see. The car has no power at all anywhere with new battery. Can that be caused by the chewed up plug wires alone? What other wires that can cause no power to the entire van? No power to instruments, ignition, nothing. Was running good before that.  Thanks for your help!

Thanks. I've looked around the top of the engine and other than the spark plug wires nothing is chewed. I'm told there is a harness under the coolant container, right side. I just can't imagine chewing some small wire cuts power to the whole van. Someone told me it could be the starter wire. But I can't find a replacement for that, so it must be the thick black cable directly from the battery or alternator? I'm waiting for warmer weather to get underneath. I don't have a garage.
