Car attacked by angry Baboon...quick question about wires...
Discussion
So we went to Knowsley Safari Park...we could turn right to safety...or left through the Baboon enclosure...my wife encouraged me to go left..."It will be fun!".
Fast forward 2 minutes...Baboons everywhere, pulling apart of my front trims...that was okay, I could take that...but then they started probing for weak spots and attacked my rear top braking light (the top middle one above the rear windscreen). Within seconds it was in pieces and the ring leader proceeded to pull on the cable and mock me...I tired to shake him off but couldn't and was asked to slow down (I was only going about 10mph but I wanted to get out of there). At one point I was contemplating getting out to challenge the offender...but I would likely have been mauled to death. Anyway...the back light was destroyed, they've given the wire where the light was a very good pull through the hole. It meets another bundle further inside the car then they vanish inside. Everything seems to work (apart from the light of course), but I'm worried it might have caused damage inside? How does the electric wiring work? If something was damaged can you remove small sections and replace? Or will the wire go all the way through the car? It's a Toyota Yaris 69 plate (2019). Reg GY69CZB.

For Caddyshack 
A breakers yard would sell you the roof loom and you could either plug it in or solder the join.
I expect there are specific Toyota breakers and it will be quite easy to drop the headlining.

k would anyone do that?”I hate monkeys of all kinds. It's not exactly a phobia - just an extreme aversion. I can't understand how people find them cute or funny. They're like giant rats that fling faeces. I'd love to visit Thailand for the food, but it's full of the blighters. I even turned down an invitation to stay at luxury villa in Mauritius because of them.
I just can't wrap my head around taking a car into a compound where these creatures, which are known for tearing cars apart, roam. Similarly, I can't fathom those drivers who deliberately drive into deep water and they wonder why they've destroyed their car. Why would you do that?!?! If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the Rufford Ford thread.
