One problem related to dash wiring has been reported for the 1998 Lincoln Continental. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Instrument cluster on a 1998 Lincoln Continental. The instrument cluster failed, which resulted in the car stalling out. This made steering and braking very difficult because there was no power going to these units on the car. I was lucky and the traffic was very light at the time. The second failure happened while the vehicle was in a driveway.
