What are some good ways to trace wires in an engine?

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked by Blerg on April 20, 2021

Something chewed the wires in my car’s engine recently. What are some ways to trace which wires goto which components?

Backstory: a few months ago, my car started acting funny. One of the blinkers was faster than the other. The ABS and Tire Pressure lights came on even though I don’t have those. My parking break light won’t go off anymore. And both my passenger bright headlight and AC don’t work. The car still runs well though, so I’ve been holding off until now so that I can do it myself if I’m capable. It’s a 2006 Corolla if that helps.

Chewed wires

One Answer

A blinker flashing faster is usually a short in the circuit (ie a bulb going,creating not enough resistance in the circuit casuing it to flash faster). I cannot help tracing the wires physically but someone may chime in with the use of a mutltimeter.
First thing I'd do is get the wiring diagram for your car. See what colour wire is what on the chewed up wires and work back from there.
