I have a car that's been left sitting outside that's been destroyed by
mice. They've apparently been coming in the AC condensation drain on
the firewall, and nesting inside the heater core / AC box. There is
nasty liquid draining out of it into the passenger footwell that I
assume is mouse sewage.
Other entry point is air vents in the trunk. Don't know about trucks,
but this is common design on cars. There are vents inside the trunk,
behind the fender wells. Air from the HVAC blows through the cabin,
down vents under the rear windshield, into the trunk, and out these vents.
I ripped out most the interior, due to the mouse problems, and water
damage from a leaking sunroof. But the poor thing just needs to go to
the scrapyard at this point.
