What is this? Perhaps a relay?

I would cut the zip-tie that is holding the connector and follow the wires. From a schematic, it looks like the wires going to the fuel solenoid relay is a black and a yellow.

Yes, wires can be spliced back in. Apparently they were spliced into the headlight wires before they broke. Could have been a little jerry rigged. My father had it repaired after a rat had chewed the wires, so I don't know if it was repaired by the book. But it did run perfectly before they broke.
I'll try to find an IPC and go from there.

only having 2 wires it is not a relay, and if it affected the electrical system Im thinking it is a circuit breaker or fuse

Yes, I looked into relay design. And almost all seemed to be three wire systems. So, I'm thinking that you are right about the possibility of it being a fuse. I plugged the sockets back into the headlights and they are functioning, so I'm thinking the basic wiring is correct.
I hooked the black wire to the frame(ground) and didn't get a start, but seemed to get starter relay action.
I will splice the green wire into each of the three possible wires that it probably had been wired to before the break.
Hopefully, one will be a solution. Photos in a few days.

Yes, It's a CK35. Approximately 2012 with the manual transmission. I'm gonna talk to a mechanic today. Tried some wire splicing-seemed low risk as they were probably not high current. No luck yet.

I had a mechanic work on it. He fixed it pretty quickly. Didn't charge me for any parts, just labor. I haven't had a chance to talk to him about it yet. But----he DIDN'T connect the two wires that broke. As far as I can tell, they weren't the problem. I should be able to find out what the problem was in a few days.
