Amp wiring can be heavy like that, have you looked under engine bay to see if it comes out anywhere? or under carpet in foot wells to see what way its heading etc

could have been for turbo timer? maybe they have been joined into light wires from gauge cluster to illuminate gauges that were once in there? get a multi meter and do some investigating mate
