That is something I have wondered myself. How to unhook the wires from it.

The wires, unfortunately are made to the block. Ford strikes again.

ok--
I think you may need to pull the dash back--and disconnect the bulkhead connectors from the firewall--
I think you might get away with just "dropping" the steering column.

According to 410fortune the wires can be removed from it although I never figured out how to do it.

They cannot be removed with a connector; the wire harness is part of thye fuse block.
I tried to get one ( the block ) from Torrie at Fast Parts Network. Here is his reply:
>>That appears to only be sold with the under dash wiring harness that ranges from $1000-4000<<

I once had to remove some of the lugs from the power distribution panel--
the yellow plastic part needs removed-then you can access the lugs-
Opposite the side where it wraps the spade and isn't together is the side with a release tab-a small flat tool is inserted and this will push the tab down slightly to release it-
In looking at mine-I think once the red plastic is removed you will see in there better--now how to get to it?
Sorry Al, I realize this is a great big issue, I'm trying to help the best I can--
