Picked up an overhead console from the jy. Came out of a 90 Cherokee. I can't figure out how to wire these to get the overhead console temp/compass to come on.

Wires:
Pink
Black
Blue
Pink w/ blue stripe
White w/ black stripe
Black w/ orange stripe
Black w/ white stripe
Orange w/ black stripe
Orange w/ green stripe

Then these 3 wires (believe to be for old keyless entry)
Black
Green
Brown/tan

Now I figured out if I connect the pink, black and black w/ white stripe wires I can get the dome lights to work with the door switch/ open close on/off. I can't figure out how to connect the rest. Please help. Here are some pics and wire diagram I found. I've tried to read the diagram but its pretty Greek to me so any help would be appreciated. My jeep does not have the connectors to just plug in play under the passenger kick panel. I grabbed the sensor as well for the temp. Just can't figure out what are the power, auxiliary and ground wires.

Still trying to get the overhead console to power up. Down to 3 wires and not sure where I should connect them too.

Blue
Orange w/ black stripe
White w/ black stripe

White w/ black stripe is suppose to connect to the chime...(is this the door/lights chime and if so why does it need to be connected? What purpose does it offer when connected?)

Orange w/ black stripe wire is the dimmer wire. (would this connect to my headlight switch? Does it need to be connected? Can I hook it up to a 12v power wire or acc wire?)

Blue is suppose to be the illumination wire. (where would I connect this too? 12v power or acc?)

Thanks for any help that can be provided.
