Take that wire off. Then install a toggle switch under your dash somewhere convenient and run that wire to the switch. This will allow you to turn it on and off at your convenience.
See if you can get some liquid electrical tape (available at a boating store) and then put that and a shrink tube over the splice.

If it is factory wiring, it will either be fused or come from fusable links under the battery box.
this appears to be a bypass around the relay.
does that orange wire go to the blk/red wire in the relay?
why people do it that way...I dunno. Soooooooo much easier, safer to simply ground the green grnd wire and go home.

A orange power supply wire goes to items that are essential for the engine to run that I listed in post #4 above
Maybe time to invest in a FSM that has all the stock factory wiring diagrams so you can put trace and things right ?
