Mice ate IAT sensor wiring

[cjm1347]

Went to replace IAT sensor due to P0113 code. Got there and saw that mice had destroyed the wiring over the winter. How should I approach this? The wiring disappears into a factory wire loom and is tough to follow.

You can pull up the FSM for it under the Resources section on this forum for the wiring diagrams.

I'd just splice in the missing sections for those wires.

Buy a repair pigtail such as Standard Products HP4665. You’ll need to open your harness back far enough to get to good wires. Download your FSM in the resources thread.
If you want genuine Mopar, the number is 5014003AA

I'd go this route.

The Intake Air Temperature sensor wires are Terminal 1 Violet/Light Green and Terminal 2 Dark Blue/Dark Green in the wiring section (8W-30-17) of the Factory Service Manual.
