If Boeing can't rewire the planes up to current safety regulations, then the planes should never fly again (since they should have never flown in the first place).
Even if the FAA cuts Boeing some slack here (which they shouldn't - these are safety rules that exist because hundreds of people had horrific deaths), the EASA will certainly not.
If the FAA accepts Boeing's excuse, they both would be liable in case the wiring causes an accident in the future, since both would have been negligent and knew fully well the wiring was not up to current standards.
