there is a main engine relay in the black box under the hood but they hardly ever go bad. and since your car is a 98, i would check and clean the wiring harness connections under the hood, also, check your grounds on your wiring harness, make sure they are clean

ford likes using fusable links to supply power. usaly located at batery or starter relay.

So what are the symptoms that have you looking at the alternator? Is the charging system indicator illuminated in the instrument cluster? Is the alternator not charging? Or is it just because you don't have power to a couple of fuses? It would seem that if you don't have any power to the light green/red wire the indicator in the instrument panel should be illuminated.
