some easy questions i hope

Ok,

got my car back, and well, its a mess. My tarp that was coving the car, did its job... mostly, a 40lb block of ice was made, from the hatch window being out and using the spoiler as the other end, made a bowl kinda, and it sunk in, and with it doing that, it leaked, and well my hatch is now a ice rink

but im chiping away at it , got about 3inch's deep, I know im going to need to replace the wiper sprayer motor/tank probley.. not sure. And under the passager seat is another rink..

Any ways, after all the work i did today, i deside to open up the glove box, and low and behold, a mouse has built a nest .... out of the pile of what looks like to be seat particals, or something esle from the car, (found no wire casings or any thing like that) passager seat is ok, driver seat is still in the car, ran out of sunlight and warm temps (was 36F here today)

I poped the hood and found another nest on top of my valve cover, but all wires are intact.

Any ways, What should i look for and where in the glove box area to make sure no wires was chewed.

2nd could i use jumper cables to my battery terminals ( i have no battery ) and like turn the key to acc and check the heater core/fans, lights and move my driver seat so i can get to the bolts??

engine is almost ready to be pulled when the distruction happend, so im like ugggg on the clean up.

sorry for jumping around, im a bit worried but not realy.. and need someone/or others to yak at

Hmmm, interesting question about using jumper cables on the battery cables without a battery to power accessories. It seems like you would have current running through the car's electrical system so it would work, but I can't say for sure. But you've got my curiosity up now.

Yeah, im kinda wondering if it can be done, i dont want to fry any thing, thats my only consern, i could just go buy a battery but it would be dead before i get the motor rebuilt.

for accessory wise i dont see why it wouldnt i mean it obviously wouldnt be able to start but accessories should work.
