Overhead Console
I have acquired an overhead console out of a 98 Mercury Mountaineer same thing as Explorer. I would like to install it in my 95 F150 regular cab. I saw that frederic did this with a Dodge Caravan console in his crew cab. Has any one else done this. One reason I like the explorer/mountaineer consolse is that it looks just like one out of a 92-96 Eddie Bauer Bronco but its a little shorter. Anyway, I would like to know how much room there is between the inner and outer roof, or how long of screw I can use to mount it. I definitely do not want a screw to poke out of the top of my truck. Also, if anyone has any usefull information on the wiring that would be appreciated. If not I'm sure I can figure it out. Where do they put the outside temperature sensors from the factory?

Does anyone know how much room there is between the inner and outer cab sheet metal on the roof? I know there is some room in the back by the third brake light, but have no idea how much distance there is in the front between the two pieces of metal.

Can anybody help with figuring out the wiring? I need to know what wire is ground, switched power, constant power, the outside air temp and so on.

The connector pin out is what I need to know. The wires are all black and one is white. Can some one please tell me how to figure out what wire goes to what function. What I really need is a diagram of the pin outs on the connector. Some one has to know this.
