Mystery solved-motor harness??
you need to call all the local ford dealers and ask for a quote of wire harness repair.. i would also find a performance shop or larger repair shop and get their estimate on getting the harness and for the labor.. one who walks in armed, normally walks out.. pack as much heat(information) as you can. to me it sounds like you are getting hosed

Power drains typically come from bad parts or a wiring problems. Sounds as though you either need an electrical device replaced or the faulty wire/plug/ or harness replaced. Before you go changing all the harnesses in the car, find the problem first.</P>
Just a question, have you recently or have ever had an aftermarket stereo system or alarm installed? Those are the usual culprits. Good luck, and if all else fails take it to a different dealership, your warrantly should cover (check to be sure) work at any Ford dealer.</P>

Just changed out the top plug element on top of my second alternator '89 5.0...my battery was replaced once and th alternator twice by NAPA..then we noticed the top plug on the alternator was being smushed by the top radiator hose over a long period of time the heat sleeve on the hose had slipped...created lotsa corrosion and deteriation of plug. changed it out with NAPA harness...no problem since...NAPA guys were good guys...coulda charged for the second alt but didn't..good luck
