No power to overhead console!!

Just did an interior conversion to my truck from xlt to lariat. I installed a new headliner with the overhead console, took the kick plate off where if it existed would be. Found the harness to plug into but noticed it only had a thicker black wire coming out of it, the harness for the overhead console had around 12 or 13 wires. I don't have a volt meter to test the wire on the truck side. But beings this is my first time installing an overhead console I'm not sure what hardware I need or what I'm doing wrong. Did research on the Internet and there's not much on installing overhead consoles. All I've seen were repairing the circuit board which visually checked and didn't see any cracked solders. Any pointers?

I had done this back with my '01. The kick panel connection may e there, but in '03 Ford went on a cost cutting program and went from singular harnesses to ones specific for the trim package, saving money on copper.

If I'm interpreting what your saying, you may not have all the wiring where it needs to be to implement the OH. Some pictures of the situation may help some of us help you.
