By the way, I discovered that the Zetec harness I got from the u-pull-it yard IS cracking...at the coolant temperature sensor connector. Kinda makes sense, doesn't it? That connector probably gets hotter than anything else when the engine is running, so that's where it starts.

Just use a paperclip or a jeweler's screwdriver to push the rubber wire seal away from the connector shell, and look inside.

I'm gonna inspect the one on the '96 sometime soon.
