So I just got this 2000 996 Carrera manual and I found out that some mice have chewed through the maf sensor wires, both o2 sensor wires and then the big 6 pin connector next to it all. I was wondering how i could fix this and what that 6 pin connector is for.

It is always best to solder the wires back together and then heat shrink them for weather proofing.  A lot of sensors, like the MAF, use factional voltage signals that don't do well when crimp connectors are used, so solder is the way to go. 👍

Thank you. I was leaning towards that i really didn’t want to have to get a new harness. Do you have any good kits for the wires?

I do not, we normally stock a variety of wire sizes and colors, heat shrink tubing, connectors, zip ties, and the like that we source from a local electrical vendor, but you can find similar supplies from multiple sources like
