unknown part and disconnected harnesses

Anyone able to tell me what Google won't?

Dropped out driving on a bit mpy road. Dealer I bought from , Auto Showcase Of Carol Stream , not returning phone call. I have no experience with these but maybe remote start botched job? If disconnected ignition won't fire. Still looking up what the harnesses are tied into service manual, but I'm bout to give up. Maybe call DMV and get the original owner a surprise call.

Start looking under the hood for wiring added on that isn’t part of the harness. Danobre spotted similar on my car last year after I bought it when we first met. Look for extra sensors or lights beside the rear view mirror or other locations (after market alarm triggered) and under the hood (sensor for alarm if hood opened).

Found three wires were cut right in front of firewall separate from main harness. Nothing else up front or bottom side. Ties into some big wires right under steering wheel. Tied into clutch stomp relay/switch. And hand brake. I did a stupid and plugged all harnesses in I could see matching and everything works but park light stuck on when connected and running. when turned off it says key is in ignition blink light. I think its a remote starter as I can't find a sensor box or antenna for an alarm anywhere, but more panels to come off. Gonna Google some chips in the box see if I find something. .. lol as I'm typing here on the phone and searching on a PC.. looks like it's an old ultrastart 450 series starter.

Now should I leave it or gut it? Not sure I can find parts to restore it (fobs, antenna, wires cut under hood?)
Suggestions welcome.

I don't know how that would have ever worked, without a key to talk to the immobilizer in a remote start situation. I'd rip it all out.
