Not a lot to go on. Either trace it and list the wire colors it's going to or just rip it out and be done with it.

i exhumed one car where the whole reason it was parked was because the butt connector on the "start" wire had come apart.
i removed all of the aftermarket junk, which turned out to be THREE complete alarm systems.

That must've been fun. Previous owners aren't always the smartest it seems

That happened with my Mazdaspeed Protege too!
It had this weird intermittent ignition issue that drove me crazy trying to hunt down. It ended up being the stock alarm (made by Viper, btw), taking a **** after 15 years.
