Remote start / key fob help

So I recently bought an 03 Excursion and it's been an electrical nightmare. We are in the process of removing all the outdated electronics, Kenwood Music Keg, and nav system. When we started the process the key fob stopped working and the remote start won't work.

I was able to trace 2 bare wires from the control box and noticed the main wire going in looks open. Question is where the 2 brown wires go. Not sure what they do and not sure where they are supposed to go coming from the harness. Any thoughts?



2 brown wires, pretty small guauge
