Called ford and the dealer if they did this during the recall they are paying
Took a real good look it is duct taped around a wire back there near the #8 and it goes to what looks like a ground screw. A wire with a ring crimped on it. And where it looks like it should be bolted it is not. It looks like it should be bolted to a shield over the exhaust manifold existing.

If I remember in the morning I'll take a look at mine and see what I can find out for you!

yeah spoke with the gm of service. He said sometimes they put a silver wrap around wires for heat. On mine you can clearly see the thickness off the wire and where it was cut and the thin section in the middle. My feeling is this was a too short wire harness which was what the recall was all about. My guns are out and i am going there tuesday.
On another note after playing with this section and listening for changes. The check engine light is off again. I am getting up early to get it smoged before the light comes back on.
Kinda last question. If the light comes on there is a problem. Does it remain o till the problem is remedied.Or does it shut off the light and just store the code.
