A rodent (squirrel) chewed up the engine wiring on my 2016 Transit Connect with 96k miles. It was repaired at the time but not well enough and I want to improve on it. Spark plug/coil wires were chewed through and others damaged to the point where engine would not run at all. Emergency repair was done at an independent shop. Now one year later another wire broke atop the engine, connected to an unknown sensor. The engine starts and runs but gas mileage is way down, to ~20 mpg. I would like to either replace the wiring harness section or splice a section in. I would either buy the needed section from Ford or else pull from a parts car at the local Pick-N-Pull. Which other vehicles would be a suitable donor? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Maybe there is a thread in the archives which would be helpful but I haven't found it, especially re: compatible vehicles. There are not many TC's in the junkyard. I think the Fusion may have the same engine, maybe some Mazda?

I stumbled upon this thread and became concerned that I ought to replace this bushing on my 2016 TC. So I went to the Ford dealer and bought the bushing and cover and attempted to replace it. But I can't figure out how to detach the shift cable from the trans. I got my hand on the cable end and pushed and tugged every which way but nothing gives. Is there some secret to detaching the cable? The bushing certainly doesn't appear ready to detach on it's own and leave me stranded. Then I realized the existing bushing is orange, same as the new one I bought ... not black and nasty like the failed one shown in the pictures posted by Kruss77. So maybe when my TC was built they used a newer improved bushing and I can just forget about this issue? Thoughts? BTW ... I am a recent forum member with 2016 TC Titanium purchased three years ago with 5k miles on it, now with 55k mostly trouble free miles.
