I appears that you have a white wire spliced into the Orange wire, a black wire spliced into the Black wire and the Yellow wire is hanging free.

The set of three wires (Orange, Black and Yellow) are supposed to be there and are usually just taped off with black tape from the factory. The wires that are spliced into the Orange and Black wires are not factory. I would follow those two wires and see where they run to.
