Second attempt at saudering wiring harness after a rodent chewed through 10 wires the first time on 04 Honda Pilot. I followed the wiring to the underside of the drivers side enclosed in a metal housing. Can the wiring be safely unplugged from the metal housing once removing the plate? My reasoning is feeding the wiring to the top of the car for easier access and re-saudering and wrapping plastic parts in that Honda rodent tape or metal mesh.

Please see attached image for reference. Thank you!
