1. A work vehicle system, comprising:
a controller;
a work vehicle component, comprising:
a component housing having a non-planar mounting surface; and
a first integrated electronic device at least partially contained in the component housing;
a first multilayer wiring panel (MWP) mounted to the work vehicle component and positioned over the non-planar mounting surface, the first MWP comprising:
a multilayer panel body having a non-planar cross-sectional shape generally conformal with a topology of the non-planar mounting surface;
preplaced wires embedded in the multilayer panel body; and
panel input/output (I/O) interfaces electrically connected by the preplaced wires, the panel I/O interfaces comprising first and second panel I/O interfaces electrically coupled to the controller and to the first integrated electronic device, respectively, such that the controller is placed in signal communication with the first integrated electronic device through the first MWP during operation of the work vehicle system;
a second MWP mounted to the work vehicle component at a location spaced from the first MWP; and
a second integrated electronic device contained in the component housing, located adjacent the second MWP, and electrically coupled to the controller through the first MWP and through the second MWP.
