S197 Mustang Wiring Help???

First step is to find a good factory wiring diagram for your particular car. Most everything should be able to be wired thru that panel if it is simple analog(on/0ff) control switch. The wiper/washer could be an issue, body control module or not it's not a simple on/off switch.

Thanks for the info guys. I really appreciate it. It was exactly what I was looking for. Glad I did the research before I bought a car...L-O-L.

I can tell you that you can get the headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and power windows to work. Those are the only things on your list that I have running through the factory switches. I did worry a lot about the power windows because they automatically go down about 1/2" when you open the door and back up the same when you close the door. It turns out there is a computer of sorts built right into the door latch that takes care of that..
