This is why I cover the large cutout under the engine with 1/4" hardware cloth and sheet metal screws on every machine I go through. The holes under the batteries are covered properly with the batteries and trays in place, but the rodents go into the engine bay through the large cutout, and...
Nesting there is very common... did you find chewed wires or any wire issues? Did you undo the connections, clean, and reassemble? Past removing the nest... what else did you do? Where this nest is, would not necessarily change the issue you were having (as this is before the contactor down to...
