    A mouse got under the rear seats and chewed up some of the hv cables and some of the low voltage which I presume to go to seatbelt sensors seat heaters etc. but I'm not sure if maybe some of those low voltage wires have anything to do with the hv system which is still throwing a code after replacing high voltage cables. Any information on that low voltage wiring right behind the seat belt connectors would be greatly appreciated, I can't seem to find any information on it and I'm not great at understanding the schematics. Thank you!

    Gonna need some pictures if you want us to tell you what kind of wire damage you have and steps you will need to take to repair it. There's lots of youtube videos on how to access this area of the car.

    Also, which code would give us more to go on than "throwing a code".
