If there IS no more rodent damage, you are the luckiest person in the world. Any car with chewed up air filters is going to be a car with chewed wiring.
Just keep that in mind when things start acting up.
Better yet, check the following for chewed wires.
1) The ECU box. It's next to the battery, has the ECU, Body Control Module and Relay Control module. Lid comes off if you slide the two latched to the unlocked position, no tools needed. LOok for chewed wires in there.
LOOK CAREFULLY and make sure you latch the top back on properly.
2) Raise the Tonneau lid; look in both wheel wells for chewed wires. Remember that, if you take more than nine minutes, pressure will be released and the lid will start to fall.
3) Yank the floor mat from the passenger side foot area. Look around the stereo amp area, etc.
I've searched and found a couple of related comments, but I have not seen a resolution. I can open the tonneau cover using an open end 10mm wrench (special tool is missing), but after I lower the top into the trunk with the divider in the upright position as required, I can't get the tonneau cover to relatch. It will only latch shut with the top up. What am I doing wrong, or what could possibly being misaligned/malfunctioning to cause the problem? Thanks in advance.
Usually, latching the lid is harder with the top UP. Cant think of a reason for this to be happening.
