HELP! Looks like a squirrel or mouse has chewed wires under my hood. I have to admit, I am not handy with cars. This is my wife cooper and she needs to make the 30 mile trip to work tomorrow. It looks like the wires are for the air filter. Not sure. But there is an intake and air flow text on the part that has the chewed wires. It's cold here in Michigan so I think if the fan is not working my wife could still make the drive. The service light came on while she was driving yesterday and that is when I noticed the problem. Should she drive it? At least until we can get it to a mechanic?

 

Pictures would help ...
Hard to tell what wires were chewed or their functions
