I put this guide together for people who are getting deep into the electrical aspect of the cars.
S197 / S550 Mustang Connectors
I, for one, do not like splicing into my car's electrical system. So, I started a project where, anytime I want to divert a signal, be it power or data, I would make an interconnect harness. Basically, a harness where you unplug two connectors in your car and fit yours between.
In order to do this, it is far FAR cheaper to source the terminals and connectors and pin them yourself, than to buy pigtails.
For Example:
View attachment 307596
WPT-934 (the grey connector on the top) is current $67 on Amazon
That same connector is $1.37 on Digikey
The terminals are $10 for 100+ and the tool to crimp them is $15.
You could buy spools of wire for cheap and still come out for far FAR less.
Here are some examples of interconnect harnesses I have made:

I will happily accept any additional connectors you all have found as well.
