An electrical interconnection module forms part of the structure of an automotive vehicle instrument panel and connects electrical components disposed thereon with a bulkhead connector on the forward fire wall of the vehicle. The interconnection module has electrical connectors disposed thereon at various locations for making connection with the electrical components. A plurality of bus bars are disposed in a group on the surface of the module and form part of an electrical junction block integrated with the module. Narrow grooves extend along the surfaces of the module and have wires embedded therein to provide electrical interconnection between the connectors and the bus bars. The bus bars and the terminals of the electrical connectors comprise insulation displacement connectors for making connection with the wires.
