Ok Heres the problems:
1. My turn signals, brake and running lights don't work.
2. The interior lights don't work when you open the passenger front, back and drivers side back door.
3. My A/C/Heater only blows through defrost.
4. My safety switch to release the shifter doesn't work.
5. Transmission doesn't go into gear, I.E. when in park car still rolls(I think the gears are not engaging).

Heres the car I got, Its a 1998 mystique gs with a 2.5 automatic in it. The PCM, interior fuse panel, engine and steering column are out of a 1999 mystique. Monday or Tuesday the key is getting reprogrammed to solve the pats system.
Could the problem to these wiring problems be the fuse panel, I know the 1998 and 1999 have 2 fuses that are different but when I looked at the list of what they are everything looks the same. But when I looked at the wiring diagram I saw that the interior lights all run together except the drivers door which runs by it self and since this door is working Im thinking the fuse panel is different. Im going to go to the junkyard and get the fuse panel out of the car I took the interior wiring from(dash, body harness) to see if this fixes a couple of the problems. I just thought some of you out there might know what the problems are?

Check cable beneath the car to see if it is loose or broken.
