Yeah, almost certainly a rat. Opossums aren't really know for eating wiring but rats sure are.

Out at the ranch I "work" at on weekends, the owners have ultrasonic devices under the hoods. They make a weird noise every few minutes which repels rodents. They seem to work as we've had no problems since installing them in the vehicles. I believe this is the one we use: LINK

Toyotas must be tasty! I had to have my complete wiring harness replaced last year due to rat damage--$4800.00. Luckily, insurance covered it.

Before reading this post, I saw this unit on Amazon and ordered one.
