On my 2006 cts 3.6l v6 RWD 186,327km Someone had a command start in the car and ripped it out before selling it. Made a mess of the wiring and I’ve cut out all the extra wires hanging around and have one wire left that I can not figure out where it goes.
On the ignition switch I have a green and a tan wire the green runs into the main harness under the steering column and the tan one is just hanging disconnected. It had been tied into the ground previously but I removed it from there.

I am getting security theft light staying on solid I can erase the code but it comes back shortly after, also. Have to temp or fuel gauge.
