So bought this M1151A1 from govplanet and found some thin wires connected to the batteries. I followed them to the panel on the back of that seat. I uploaded to pictures the blue circled one I know is the [transmission control relay]. I've tried to figure out where all these wires go after I do see a label [Ignition Interface J10] and another P32B. The vehicle does not start but does try to turn over also have the trans light on. I know a lot of work needs to be done on it just any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome. You need to start off with some TM's and wiring diagrams, etc. I've accumulated a lot of documentation and put a single file download in my signature that includes TM's and all kinds of stuff. One of the TM's says Wiring at the end and at the end of it are a bunch of wiring diagrams that will likely help you identify what you have.

Welcome to the Outfit!

Chances are that you will find assorted wires that are just hacked off and left in place. Part of the De-Mil process. A lot of them will still be "powered" so you will need to follow them back to the source. A lot will be for radios or computer terminals.

Short version is that if the starter is working, you have a good chance that she will start eventually. The diesel needs fuel to crank. There are no spark plugs to deal with - but there are glow plugs to heat the combustion chamber. Are you getting smoke? Smoke is a sign that you are getting fuel...

Don't go nuts spraying starting fluid. It's bad for the motor.

Snap a few pictures. Specifically the engine bay so maybe we can spot something you may have missed...

If you are on a cell phone, often times it will download it into a "downloads" folder. Sometimes it is a real pain to figure out WHERE your phone put it. Some are fairly large too... If you have an Android, swipe down from the top - and most of the time it will show you that the download has completed - and maybe where it put it.

Yeah I see they do quite a bit in the De-Mil process on some vehicles and others not so much of the same time.

Does anyone have a picture of this is supposed to look like? So the connections to the batteries are still there fed through to the transmission control relay joined by additional cables and then cut after they’re ran back into the body don’t see anywhere else they go nor receiving end.

Well, that would just about cause a body to beat stupid off somebody...

I guess the good news is that you might get by with a patch on the transmission pan.
You almost know that some jerk did that intentionally.

Those wires are not part of the factory wiring harness.
Follow them and more than likely you need to disconnect and trash those wires.

Follow it.
Chances are good that the label meant that it energized the (radio maybe). As in that wire sensed that the ignition was on or off. That way Private Snuffy didn't leave the radio or computer or extra lighting were not left on if the key (motor) was off. Doesn't take a very big wire to excite a circuit...
