Default mouse in truck

Hi I have a 2013 fx4 and I noticed mouse sh*t on the center console and then when I turned on the ac a bunch of plastic blew out and I found he chewed through the honeycomb behind one of the vents. What should I do? can I take the blower motor apart? I'm not sure how he got in either or where he is now. Thanks for any input, I hate mice!!!!

You better catch him fast. The insulation on your wiring is soy bean based. Makes a tasty treat for a mouse.

They can cause lots of problems. I had one build a nest in top of the transmission of my wife's Honda while we were out of town for a long weekend a few years ago. When we got back the transmission wouldn't shift right. Ended up needing a new wiring harness and those are more expensive than they should be.

There's this guy who visited here once, you two should get together. His animal-in-cab problem solves yours.
