Goat problems

1997 International 3800 with DT466E and Allison 545 auto trans. So, I’m wondering if anyone knows what extra wires and connectors might still be part of my bus after it’s been decommissioned and sold as a non passenger bus? P.O. Left it on a farm and before I could get it towed the farm put the goats around it. Now I’ve got a bunch of chewed wires and connectors that I don’t know where they go (or used to go and I don’t need them now). If anyone has any sort of wiring info on my it would be much appreciated. Most concerning wires rn are three pink wires below the drivers side fuel filter. One probably goes to the sensor right there on the block, but the other two are a mystery

Awesome pic!!!

Must be cosmopolitan goats seeing as though the little fellas have a taste for "International" cuisine.

Ran when parked?

:-')

Take some pictures of the damage, with enough detail so folks can focus.

Did they get into the bus, or just underneath it?

It won’t help with fixing the bus, but revenge can be delicious

Pics of damage

So, here’s some of the chewed wires. I found the connector to the electronic modulator on the trans that was chewed off and somehow unplugged by those goat bastards. I will reattach that one since I know where it goes. The other wires on the trans are two pink wires which I believe went to the reverse light switch on the trans? But not sure if that’s been disconnected as the bus was decommissioned years ago. The other wires are on the driver side below fuel injector rail. Three pink wires. One goes to that sensor there that I’ve reattached. The other two?

i cant help with your bus but i doubt disconnecting the backup lights were part of the decommissioning.
you still need them to be legal.
