Before jumping to conclusions as to what needs to be done. If you have the wiring harness problem and many 95-98 (98's made in 97 may have it too) You need to read the TSB about it since the issues are specific to engines, and options. While Jaybquick paid $540 for one harness, all three for my car were $140 from the same place Team Ford. Also fixing one wire at a time is also an option, but again do so after reading the TSB so you have at least an idea of what to look for and where to look. In lieu of taping each wire some have found that using "liquid electrical tape" also works well, and in many cases it is much easier to paint it on than wrap each individual wire. I think I would use that and then wrap the wires towards the connector using different colors of tape. I can see many hours consumed in that process, but to some it may be worth it..... The diagram of each harness involved is shown in it's position on the engine in the TSB, so no matter how you plan on proceeding it should start with reading that.
my 2 cents,
