RODENT! rodent chewed the wires!

after 3 days parked on the parking pad, i lost power steering.  it became stiff, unneuverable.  googled online and found a lot of complaints for the same issue on focus, cmax and fusion.  i thought ford did poor job.

 

yesterday i drove my car to a nearby ford dealer for a diagnosis.  the tech yelled:  rodent!  rodent chewed your wires!  

 

paid diagnosis fee of $130, and drove back.  now need to find the wires of "pscm" and see if i can reconnect the broken ones, or get a new cable ... sigh!

 

(dealer wanted $525 to replace the cable, i declined).
