Cabin Air Filter Surprise
That's wild! A buddy of mine here in Cali was installing a turbo timer in his Evo and thought he messed something up because his car wouldn't start. It turned out that a rat (or something) chewed threw the wire to his crank-angle sensor.
A couple of mice had chewed through one of the ignition wires to my old V6. My car was running, I went to check on it, stupid me, forgot to turn it off, saw the nest of leaves and twigs, reached in to remove it and YOWW!
Actually, only the 03 didn't have them. The 04 and 05 VIII did. And you're right, there is a slot, but you have to get a filter.
Nice... I found mouse turds on the fresh air side of my cabin filter too. I had mold smell so I ran the heater for 1/2 an hour to dry everything and kill it. That and every 10 minutes sprayed some lysol in the cowl vent.
I do not know how the mouse got down there, but he left, luckily. I park the car at the airport for 3 weeks sometimes, must have thought it was a good place to be.
