Heres a stupid electrical question (archive)

As you may have noticed some of my posts below. I just bought an 88 750il. Had it shipped and it started INSTANTLY getting it off the semi and HAS NOT started since. My wifes getting REAL PISSED at me. Getting gas and cranks fine. I just noticed a 3rd party alarm system (No info of course) When turning the key I hear alot of buzzing and faint clicking under the instrument cluster. I just took off the knee bolster under the steering wheel and noticed a light blue box a little bigger than a pack of cigarettes under and to the left of the steering column. It is really wedged in there and has a bunch of wires going in and out. IS THIS FACTORY ???? It does not look like it. The previous owner knows nothing about an alarm (never used it)and it always started for him. I have checked all relays etc and they are fine. Disconnected battery for a few hours etc. Just no spark. I am suspecting the problem lies in what appears to be the aftermarket alarm. Any thoughts ???
Thanks
Greg
