Upon investigation I found a mouse had built a nest above the incabin microfilter under the dash. I can't figure out "where" the entry point of the critter has. The grill around the wiper cowling is OK and the pics in the FSM don't show any entry point for fresh air into the fan box, other than showing a big square opening. Anyone know "what" feeds air into the fan box ?? Truck-On.... Gold 05,SE,KC 6-spd 4x4

By removing the plastic cowl /vent screen under the wipers, it allowed access to the air box. Above the air box is a plastic rain sheild. Behind that shield at the base of the radio antenna, was the mouse nest....and I almost sucked the critter into the vacuum hose.....but he got away. Apparent entry into that area is via 2 drain ports on either side of the metal tray under the wiper linkage. Its large enough for a small mouse to enter and its where the coax for the antenna and wiper washer tubing is routed. I covered the opening into the air box with aluminum bug screening. Truck-On....
