Default Fixed my oil temp sensor wiring again tonight.....

I think I have it bunny-proofed now. Found a piece of water/oil proof, metal reinforced conduit for exterior wiring. The sleeve fits perfectly over the harness and extends about 7" up into the engine bay. The fuzzy little bastads are gonna have to climb up past my left motor mount to chew on that wire again. Pluss I rubbed some cayene pepper onto the sleeve to give them a bad taste in their buck-toothed little mouths.

Default Here ya go.....

Picture is from the top of the motor on the drivers side looking down. I used electrical tape on the top and bottom so the conduit wouldn't move. No rabbit is getting in there again.
