Cant anyone help anywhere?

this is an available option for my truck its even listed in the OM#1
I just installed a OEM over head console in my 99 250. the problem is that the truck did not orginally have a overhead console so the wireing harness at the passanger side floor panel does not have the required wireing. i purchased the wire from ford to go from the over head to the plug, but where do i fing the wires required to make this work?


in the console would be compass, temp, gas mileage etc...

Chris,

Get a good wiring diagram for your truck so you can trace out the various circuits needed for that console. You might also go to a junk yard to see if you can get the wiring harness up to that connector you just bought from Ford. You may have to buy some other components to make that overhead console work.
