    +1 for that. Just check none of them are live and if they are it might be best to find its fuse and remove it

    And if you go removing the wires, after removal of each wire, just double check that the car starts and everything works.
    You dont want to cut 4-5 wires and then have to guess which one it was

    Well the black wire is obviously an earth wire. If you have a multimeter you'll probably find that one of the remaining wires has a constant 12VDC supply on it and the other has an acc 12VDC supply on it. That setup could have been used for any number of things.

    if your car used to be on gas thats what it would be as i have the same kind of wires in mine but mine go to a switch and fuse for the gas
