I have a battery indication light on.
Troubleshoot found the end of connectors got chewed off... i spliced both connectors and the symptom still exist, any one has an answer? please kindly pm me, thanks in advance.

do you own a multimeter?

I would recommend going to an auto part store like Advance or O'Reilly and doing the battery scan first, to check volts and cranking amps from the battery and a startup, then volts from the alternator while vehicle is running.

Good strong well charged batteries should put out 12.4v ish and 600 or more cranking amps, depending on battery spec.
while the vehicle is idle/running you should see 14v

If that checks out, then you at least know its not the battery or alternator.

Which connectors did they chew through? The positive and negative leads right off the battery? Did you confirm that's all that was eaten? How did you splice in new connectors?

How the hell...darn those rodents.

There's a section of the harness under the battery tray that has no protective wrapping; you may have more rodent damage than you suspect.

Critters eating harnesses apparently is a thing:

CHECK THE AGS FUSE FOR HAHAS. usually if that fuse is blown the car will go into over voltage and up the voltage to 15.0 volts causing the battery light to come on
