Default Starter clicks aftermarket security system

So, got a buddies car with a aftermarket security system. Well I think it is, I'll get some pictures today if it. Anyways, we took out a bunch of extra wires that a msd window switch and nitrous system was hooked to, and removed battery while doing this, hooked battery back up, no start, the starter clicks and throws the shaft to the fly wheel, but no juice to spin.

I noticed two wires coming from behind the push button starter wire loom are cut and wired into this black box, with a million wires going everywhere. It's quite the nightmare.

Anyways, my thought is these wires are the main feed to the starter, And this security system is not allowing it to send amperage. Soooo tried looking for the other cut side of the wire in the loom, and can't find it..... I do have a manual, can anyone guide me to the right page or area to figure out how to wire this thing back to factory wiring.

Dead battery? If the battery doesn't have enough juice the starter won't be able to turn the motor over.

If the solenoid is engaging and your battery is good it is likely your starter. Worn brushes could cause this, although so could a bad ground or a frozen engine.
