Default Over Head Console wiring quetions

I read the posts on this and the wires don't all match up. I have an OHC with auto dim mirror from a '99 Explorer I'm putting in my '88 Ranger. I need two things:
I need the wire diagram or color codes for it.
I need help to know where to wire in for the speed sensor in my '88
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have played around with about 10 different OHC's. Not one of them had the same wire colors. My advice it to go by the pin location on plug, they are the same on all of them.
