Well, a 1 week trip wound up turning into a 4.5 week trip and my Ranger sat all alone in the driveway the entire time. Got home today and took her for a spin and did a quick look over and I've got 2 "issues:"
1. The interior smells super weird, I'm guessing due to mold/bacteria from the AC or something (I didn't leave anything in it that would cause a bad smell and no indications that anything got inside. Anyone have this issue before (not unique to Rangers) and thoughts on best way to solve if it doesn't go away on its own in the next few days?
2. Looks like a squirrel had a feast in my engine bay chilling on my battery...
Other than the "mess" I didn't notice any other signs of issues, no wires chewed or anything, but looking for some input on things to check closer or look out for here to ensure everything is fine. Any thoughts? Also how would you clean that out, hose, just wipe it out, something else?
Thanks and I promise this will never happen again! For what it's worth too, I wound up driving a new Bronco too for most of the month I was away -- I like the Ranger better in every single aspect.
