Default Big Animal got into engine.

A large animal got into the engine chasing something. The damage is repairable. The only thing left is the fuel gauge indicates an empty tank along with the check engine light. Wires were pulled, cut, or bit apart but that seemed only the tunning lights on both fenders. I performed an actuator test on the panel and all instruments were fine. Do where in the compartment is the fuel line and sensor links? Or do you have another ideas.
UPDATE 7/28/2020
During another search for damages I found a wiring harness that had been damaged. Inside a couple of wires were separated and several were bit. Repairing this wires fixed the fuel gauge sensor and check engine. We are all good now.

Up here I would blame a Pack Rat for that damage. And once one did that to me but he made the ultimate sacrifice when I cornered him in the old shed. Shed got shot too.
