No Customer Satisfaction Extended Warranty for the 1998. If you are up to it, the wiring harness is around $600. If not, then just locate the missing ends of red wire and green wires. Reconnect broken ends, tape up all exposed wires and hope for the best.
Below are some information which should help.

Main harness how to by CSVT#49
If you have not done so, now is a good time to pick up a Ford CD manual.

If you are taking it out, replace it with a new one.
If you can do the repairs with "liquid rubber" and electrical tape without taking it out, then go for it.

ok the only parts i noticed were from the big plastic cover under the coil pack to the passenger side that were badly brittle i can get to the wires easily except for the plug that goes under the power steering but that shouldn't be too hard. does the liquid rubber work good or better than regular electrical tape??? There weren't any problems with the wires in the big cover just when they came out that and were wire loomed and taped

I would and should prob do that but that is alot of cutting soldering and connecting and then i'll end up with a bundle of wire so big i won't get it back where it goes
