Default Rear cables chewed

Dogs chewed on rear cable wire. I'm assuming it's for the ABS system because I got a new error msg to Check Brake System-AdvanceTrac. Inspected the car and found this (see pics). Any help on what I need to order and how to replace. Car otherwise drives fine..no loss of power or braking.

Rear Driver side wheel

Should be this part for the Left rear on my truck which is a 2013 since you think we know what you drive. It is the Rear Sensor Assembly and I would call them to make sure or if you could find a # on it and look that up.

You need to put your truck's year, model, options in your post or in your sig. Lots of different F150s out there.

You sure that was a dog? Would be unusual behavior. Squirrels and other rodents, however...

Apologies, thought the details would be visible in my profile. Anyway it's a 2014 Ford F150 STX, 3.7L. Much of it has not been altered other than a 3" lift front and rear.

Not sure what those cables are made out of but it's real common to have small animals like mice, squirrels and other rodents to eat the rubber housing. A lot of manufacturers use a soy based so called rubber instead of real rubber and small rodents find it as a food source. I have heard stories (1 from a friend) the whole wire harness was chewed and need replacement.
