This is a kit for doing the wiring harness replacement that contains all 4
harnesses (power/fan/main engine/fuel injection), the wire ties/mounting
clips, and it even includes replacement intake manifold gaskets.
I got it for $650+shipping from Bill Jenkins. If you need to replace the
fuel injection harness because it's cracking, chances are that the others
are too and it'd be cheaper in the long run to buy this kit (given that
the fuel injection harness is about $350 by itself, and it's nowhere near
as much of a beast as the power or the main engine harnesses).
I'm happy to say that Ford did indeed use the correct wire insulation this
time around, as verified by expensive and highly technical test equipment
that Ford's QC department did not have access to during 95-97.
Specifically, a cigarette lighter.
The flame doesn't even leave a mark on the insulation, wheras on the
harness I got out of a wrecked 95 Zetec Contour, the flame started
charring the insulation and making a burning plastic smell.
No smell when applied to the wire on the new harness.
Of course, I chose an inconspicuous area to test (the ground wires from
the EEC-IV connector).
They also left the connectors in for every possible option that was
available on the car, including ABS. So if you don't have ABS or traction
control or cruise control and want to add it, replacing the harness will
do most of the required work for you. I think the foglight connectors are
even on this harness.
