Default Wiring question

A while back, I posted about an aftermarket alarm system that had been installed on my car by the previous owner. The underdash wiring was a rats nest. I am revisiting that now as I wire the new dual electric fans that I bought. Anyway here are some photos of what I am left with. The first are some wires and connectors that don't look stock. The second is of a component marked "Philips" that I believe to be part of the alarm system. It was plugged into the fusebox. The orange component marked "Top" is another mystery. As always, any help/suggestions are appreciated.

The orange box is you interior timer controller so you interior lights go out roughly 30 second AFTER you close the door.

The black box above it is your CHIME which tells you that you left key in the ignition and or the headlights are on when the key is OUT of the ignition.

the connectors in your FIRST photo are FACTORY and are for all of your add on options your car was built with.

Always let us know what your year model is.

And if you want exact identification of these wiring terminal connectors. Taking good photo of them so we can see them individually or at least TWO of them in one photo...and if there is a possibility that the color of the wires will not be seen as photographed...then describe them to us.

I am willing to help even though this information is on a wiring diagram...so...make it easy on us.

The chime and the timer controller are reinstalled and I believe that I have all of the wires repaired and properly reconnected. Now the challenge is finding a way to get them tucked and secured under the dash. Thanks again.

Brad...THAT is always something I HATE...trying to get all of the pigtails connected to the fuse panel and then routed so they look good and are not in the way.
