Knowing that most installer will cut the corner, the wires arent probably solder. Untape and remove the alarm system wires, retape the spliced original wires. If solder was used than just cut all the wires at were they T connect to the original wiring. Make sure you tape all the little pieces of wire that are still sticking out.
Most alarm uses either a starter kill relay or a ignition kill relay (on N/C). In the case of a Clifford, they use N/O. Either way, the starter wire or the ignition wire from the ignition switch is probably cut along the way and ran into that relay. Just cut off the relay and reconnect the original wires together. Solder all connection you do. It is the only way to secure a coonection between two wires in a motor vehicle. Crimp on are BS, "solder tape" is even worst.
Lots of good brand of alarms out there. A lot of customer are asking for a better install price. Lots of corner cutting because of better prices given. People get what they pay for. It always amaze me when someone just purchase a 30000$ vehicle and will go to the next audio shop to get a car starter or an alarm install because they will save 40$ on the install without caring if the installation will be done right. They usually end up giving that 40$ to a tow truck driver.
I have been in the business for over 10 years, tons of install under my belt. I can probably count on my fingers the small comeback I had. I use to take an hour more to do the install the right way.
But I dont do it anymore, people can get the same product installed somewhere else for 40-50$ cheaper. I just dont bother no more.
Good luck
