Covering Wiring Harness in 2001 Dodge Caravan

Asked by Jo-Anne Oct 30, 2016 at 04:52 PM about the 2001 Dodge Caravan SE FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hello!  I'm hoping I can get a bit of help here.  Last winter both my front and rear windshield washer motors stopped working.  Took my mechanics 4 1/2 hours to find the problem (I thought i might be the motor, but there are 2, one for the front and one for the rear)  Anyway, they said that my wiring harness is deteriorating and that wire was the one affected.  Gave me about 6 months until the van stopped running completely.  
I run a rabbit rescue and when they showed me the wiring, I could tell it was chewed by the cottontails out where I live (not my rabbits - I care for domestics!)  IS there any way that I could put some kind of covering over the harness to protect it this winter?  It looks like there was was some kind of cover on it that has been chewed off.
Thanks for any help, and by the way, the 6 months was over 5 months ago and so far the van is running well!

Thanks Js08016! I've had about 8 different mechanics tell me I cannot cover the wires whatsever, so I'm glad I can do it before it gets too cold out. And I work as a veterinary assistant, so I can get the Bitter Apple no problem. And I never thought to use that - what a great idea! Thanks again!
