Default e-ton viper 50m odd wiring/spark issue

i recently acquired an e-ton viper 50m that was almost junked and it has a few minor issues that has me stumped. at first i couldnt get it to turn over but turns out the starter was just abused and the brush holder had melted a little jamming the armature. got that fixed pretty easy with a little elbow grease and now it turns over just fine. BUT getting a spark has been a bit tricky. it seems someone cut the remote module out and for some reason contrary to what ive read its preventing a spark. the main wires ive got cut in the bundle is a brown, blue/white stripe, blue/yellow stripe, black/white stripe, white/black stripe, and black. since the module was cut out before i got it i have no clue what goes where in respect to the module despite having a diagram. the motor turns over just fine but i dont get any kind of spark unless i connect the black/white stripe and blue/yellow stripe and it will only spark after i let off the crank button (ill get one or two sparks before the engine stops turning). ive checked both the brake switch and tether and both are working (the tether was actually broken so i spliced the two wires together). ive worked on it all day trying and it has me stumped any help is appreciated

fixed it today by a long process of guessing lol for some reason i had to unhook the pickup wire from the harness and connect it to the snipped blue/yellow stripe wire. hope it helps anybody else with this issue
