Sux taking all tht crap out again. lol Seriously, just follow your pigtail up, replace the wire, use some but connectors and tape it up, itll save you a ton of hassle, trust me. 1998.5 SVT T-Red 3.0

My mechanic(used to work for Ford) said the harness was a recall, but my car is over ten years old and has less than 100k miles. I hope I don't have to buy the harness.

Well technically if you read the recall it covers an additional 10yr 100,000 so i would think you might be able to get them to but with that year i dont know. worth a try though 1998 CSVT #844 Born May 9,1997 Silver n Blue B&M Short throw shifter Eibach springs 4 Memphis PR 12" www.cardomain.com/ride/2273778

As for the fan harness, that can be purchased individually for about $200. Some CEGers have replaced just that. However, you should check the connectors first. Then, I would also suggest opening the outer cover (of the fan harness) to see if any of the wiresis flaking off. Edit. I thought you were going to do the moderndino zetec fan fix, or did that not help. Zetec cooling Last edited by Tony2005; 08/17/06 02:25 AM.
