    My 2016 shut down after turning onto a busy intersection a mile from home. I was eventually able to drive again but with Hybrid Malfunction error/Visit Dealer error. I took a look under the hood and found a squirrel nest. They managed to chew through some wiring between the battery and the engine. I cleared out the nest but can anyone tell me what part this is in the pic?

    For future reference: Engine wiring harness. Rodent didn't make it to the actual wiring. Repair only $150 thanks to cool mechanics who chose to patch up with some liquid electrical tape instead of replacing outright.
